So today, on my birthday, we decided to head up to Boston Bar. The plan? Getting up to the Nahatlatch Forestry Lookout Tower and grab all the geocaches along the way.
|See the tower?|
|Amazing view from the top!|
|Tony and the tower|
The Nahatlatch Forest Fire Lookout was rebuilt by the Four Wheel Drive Association, SWATT, some geocachers and BC Rec Sites & Trails. What a project to undertake! Wow.
The "Rebuild" geocaching series was created by Trixnbun in honour of the rebuilding of the Lookout Tower and the entire series is such a great tribute. The hides are not difficult and I love that the hints are good so that there is no unnecessary wear & tear on the environment. Every once in a while we'd get a glimpse of the view of the Fraser Canyon and it would just take our breath away. Finally we arrived at the lookout and we were so excited to see the brand new rebuilt tower. The view from this spot is truly amazing. I'm sorry to say the pictures just don't do it justice. You have to see it in real life. Spectacular.

And it was SO worth it.

COURA, Renata dos Santos and NARDI, Nance Beyer. A role for adeno-associated viral vectors in gene therapy. Genet. Mol. Biol. [online]. 2008, vol.31, n.1, pp. 1-11. ISSN 1678-4685. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-47572008000100001.
Gene therapy constitutes a therapeutic intervention based on modification of the genetic material of living cells, by correcting genetic defects or overexpressing therapeutic proteins. The success of gene therapy protocols depends on the availability of therapeutically suitable genes, appropriate gene delivery systems and proof of safety and efficacy. Recent advances on the development of gene delivery systems, particularly on viral vectors engineering and improved gene regulatory systems, have led to marked progress in this field. Although the available vector systems can successfully transfer genes into cells, the ideal delivery vehicle has not been found. In this context, adeno-associated virus vectors (AAV) are arising as a promising tool for a wide range of applications, due to a combination of characteristics such as lack of pathogenicity and immunogenicity, wide range of cell tropism and long-term gene expression. Since its isolation, the biological properties of the adeno-associated virus have been increasingly understood, improving our ability to manipulate and use it as a safe and efficient gene therapy vector of wide spectrum. In this work, we review the bases of gene therapy, main types of gene transfer systems and basic properties and use of AAV vectors.
Keywords : Adeno-associated virus; AAV-based recombinant vectors; gene therapy.

ELAINE KURTENBACH, Associated Press
TOKYO (AP) â?? A half-century after the 1964 Tokyo games heralded Japan's reemergence from destruction and defeat in World War II, the city's triumphant bid to host the 2020 games is giving this aging nation a chance to revive both its sagging spirits and its stagnating economy.
"In most competitions, if you don't win a gold medal, you can also win maybe a bronze one," Tokyo Gov. Naoki Inose told reporters in Buenos Aires after the International Olympic Committee chose his city to host the 2020 summer games. "In this battle, there was only the gold."
Japan is counting on the games to boost both the economy and morale.
Already, Olympics hopes have lifted share prices in construction, real estate and tourism-related companies. The news from over the weekend helped boost Tokyo's Nikkei 225 share benchmark by 2.2 percent by midmorning Monday.
Hundreds of Japanese athletes and officials gathered downtown for the early morning announcement shouted "Banzai!" jumping up and down and hugging in unusually demonstrative reactions to the announcement the International Olympic Committee had opted for Tokyo's guarantees of safety and stability, despite the festering nuclear crisis in its northeast.
Japan's capital defeated Istanbul in the final round of voting at the International Olympic Committee meeting in Buenos Aires, after Madrid was eliminated in the first round.
The decision suggests IOC members were convinced by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's reassurances that radiation leaks from the nuclear plant wrecked in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster pose no threat to Tokyo or the games.
The 1964 games were relatively bare bones by today's standards.
"There were no facilities, no food to eat; no barbells; no place to practice. That was what it was like," said Yoshinobu Miyake, a featherweight weightlifting gold medalist at the 1964 games who recalls walking the streets of Tokyo with a crooked barbell in hand, looking for a place to practice.
"But still, we had to win â?? so it was a country that managed to go on with just a hungry spirit, a Japanese spirit," he said.
To prepare for the 1964 games, Japan rushed to build expressways and introduced its first high-speed "Shinkansen" bullet trains. The games won it worldwide recognition for its growing affluence and economic power, and were a turning point for the country's athletics, as it captured 16 golds, 29 medals in total, trailing only the United States and Soviet Union.
This time, many here consider the Olympics a symbol of recovery both from economic stagnation and from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that left more than 19,000 people dead or missing on Japan's northeast coast.
"From here on, things will get better," said Yoko Kurahashi, 65, whose high school was just across the street from Tokyo's Metropolitan Gymnasium, the site for the 1964 games gymnastics and water polo competitions.
"This will help invigorate us," Kurohashi said as she stood outside Tokyo city hall with her 94-year-old mother-in-law watching hundreds of other Tokyo residents celebrating with gold streamers and balloons.
Two decades after its economic ascent was cut short by the bursting of its financial bubble, its population shrinking and rapidly aging, Japan can use all the help it can get, said Yukio Takahashi, who was jubilant as he took his morning walk with his wife in a suburban park that was a main 1964 Olympic venue.
"This will help us to not lose confidence," Takahashi said. "It gives us a goal, something to strive for."
Surveys showed 70 percent of Tokyoites favored the bid.
Hosting the 2020 games could yield positive economic effects of over 4 trillion yen ($40.4 billion) and create more than 150,000 jobs, according to some estimates, more than half of it new demand for construction, sales of Olympics-related goods and purchases of new televisions and other appliances.
Hosting the Olympics offers a strong excuse for pork-barrel-style construction projects. In reality, greater Tokyo, home to 35 million people, is facing a major overhaul of its aging infrastructure anyway, nowhere more so than in crumbling sports venues due to be refurbished for the 2020 Games.
The government hopes to boost visits by foreign tourists to 30 million a year by then, from the 8.36 million who came to Japan last year.
Improving consumer confidence is vital for the success of Abe's economic recovery strategy, which hinges on stimulating inflation by pumping more money into the economy, keeping interest rates near zero and improving Japan's competitiveness through a wide range of reforms.
Whether the Olympics, seven years away, would bring the sort of boost needed right now remains to be seen. Unless Japanese companies, long wary of betting on a shrinking domestic market, step up investments and raise wages, price hikes are more likely to discourage rather than spur more spending in the long run.
The ultimate economic impact from holding the games varies from city to city. The 2008 games were a strong plus for Beijing, yielding an impressive new airport, subway lines and other welcome infrastructure. London's 2012 games likewise were a boost for the British economy.
But the Bird's Nest stadium, the centerpiece of the 2008 games, stands neglected as a $500 million souvenir. In Athens, many of the venues from the 2004 Olympics are desolate and weed-infested, and the Greek economy is in crisis.
Although Japan has a national debt amounting to twice the size of its economy, Tokyo itself has a $4.5 billion "reserve fund" for infrastructure projects for the games. Japan's status as the world's third-biggest economy and its strong links to Olympic sponsors were additional strengths. The huge Asian market was another draw for the IOC.
Such assets outweighed concerns over leaks of radioactive water from the tsunami-crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant. But they also will add to pressures on Tokyo to resolve the crisis.
"We have made promises," Abe said after the decision. "Now we have a responsibility to meet those expectations."

Catholic Relief Services in Rwanda
No one who attended this additional One Book Villanova program on February 6 and heard Nathalie Piraino’s personal memories of the horror of the Rwandan genocide could avoid being touched by her story. Attendees had the special opportunity to hear and meet Nathalie, a Rwandan who is now the Catholic Relief Services country representative to that nation, and Dave Piraino, her husband, who is the CRS executive vice president of Human Resources.
Dave explained the role of CRS in the world and how it has evolved. The Roman Catholic Bishops of the United States created CRS in 1943 to feed the hungry. In the 1960s and 1970s, CRS saw its mission as both to provide food and to address the root causes of hunger. Following the genocide in Rwanda, however, CRS developed a new vision: while continuing to facilitate social and economic development, CRS now seeks to advance the idea of the solidarity of all people, build relationships, further peace and justice and promote the sanctity of life. CRS goes to a country only at the invitation of its bishops. Catholic schools and health centers are used as sites to launch CRS’s services.
In 1994, in a period of 90 days, approximately one million Rwandan citizens, mainly from the Tutsi ethnic group, were killed in Rwanda by their fellow Hutu citizens. This unforeseen event was not the result of overt ethnic tension. Rather, this horror happened in a country with one language and one culture. The people had been living seemingly in harmony with the other ethnic group. Many Tutsis and Hutus had intermarried. The cause of the genocide was a message of hate expounded by a few politicians who exploited fractures in society that were remnants of a legacy of colonialism.
Especially poignant was Nathalie’s description of the murders of her mother and other close relatives. Over one hundred of her Tutsi relatives were murdered by Hutus between April 10 and 18, 1994, all killed by people who knew them as neighbors, friends or coworkers. Nathalie still does not understand why this happened.
What is also astonishing is that the rest of the world did nothing. The United Nations, the United States and other countries decided they had no compelling interest in Rwanda.
The killers, meanwhile, had been brainwashed or coerced into killing, according to Nathalie. Some have confessed their actions and have been forgiven. Others have never admitted guilt. A number are on the run in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, where the genocide continues.
The people of Rwanda are still hurting. It is a country desperately in need of further reconciliation.
Visitors to Rwanda can tour sites in the country where people were killed in great numbers, generally at churches and schools. Given this tragic history, it would be easy to be angry and distrustful. Nathalie asked that we all take an active interest in our world: "Speak out against injustice. Adopt or sponsor a child somewhere. Treasure our families. Do something for somebody else every day."
Villanova University and CRS have a formal partnership dating from 2005 that focuses on advocacy, research and service. Villanova students are invited to explore the possibility of internships or employment opportunities with CRS.
Falvey Memorial Library hosted this event as part of its continuing support of the University’s One Book celebrations.
Earlier, One Book author Immaculee Ilibagiza signed copies of her book, Left to Tell, in the first floor lounge.
The atmosphere inside the Library suggested the Rwandan experience, with help from graphic artists Chris Barr and Joanne Quinn who created colorful posters, placed books on display, and mounted maps and textiles on the walls and ceilings.
University Librarian Joe Lucia, a charter member of the One Book effort, serves on the executive committee.

Question: Do you think this is somewhat what you’ll be like as a Mom one day?
Rebecca: What, a dog owner?
Question: No, in "Godsend"
Rebecca: I doubt that I’ll ever be the mother of a cloned child. I don’t have a child but I can’t imagine how painful it would be to lose one if I did. I completely sympathize with the character. Two days after she’s lost her son a man comes up to her on the street and says that he can bring her child back to her. Of course, of course she would go for it. Made sense to me.
Question: What usually scares you in horror movies?
Rebecca: Concepts. The scariest movie I’ve ever seen is The Vanishing, the original. Buried alive! And Jacob’s Ladder was also really scary.
Question: What are your views on cloning?
Rebecca: It’s far from being a perfect science. I think that in the right hands it could be a good thing, and in the wrong hands a very, very bad thing. Certainly, this movie doesn’t support the idea. In terms of world population, I don’t think cloning human beings is a very good idea. But we met this doctor while we were working on this movie who’s working on cloning organs, and he’s getting really close. That’s great for health reasons. Certainly, some types of genetic engineering have been great. Again, it’s not a perfect science. [I could clone my dog] but would I really have the same dog over and over again? There are so many other factors other than genetics. Dolly the sheep, for example, only survived a third of the lifespan of the original. It doesn’t seem right yet.
Question: What was it like working with Robert DeNiro?
Rebecca: Unbelievable. You pinch yourself for a few days. He’s really low-key, really funny. We all came together a few days before we started shooting for rehearsal and anybody, including Robert DeNiro, feels a little awkward when they start working together. It took us all a little while to get used to each other. You don’t know what to call him for the first few days. Mr. DeNiro? Bobby? I just waited to see what Greg would call him.
Question: What did Greg call him?
Question: Do you feel closer to the character in "Godsend" or "The Punisher"?
Rebecca: Well, I really liked playing both. There are different aspects of my own personality in both of those characters. They’re kinda extensions of me. It was really nice just to play a normal, soft girl for a change -two girls who didn’t have to sit in the make-up chair for eight hours, especially after "X-Men" and "Femme Fatale," which were so stylized. It was really nice to de-glam.
Question: Are you dreading "X3" then?
Rebecca: I’m dreading the make-up part, but nothing else. I am so happy to be a part of that franchise with those people.
Question: Have you seen a script for "X3" yet?
Rebecca: No, I know nothing about it.
Question: Do you think beautiful actresses have to go the way of Charlize Theron and "Monster" to be taken seriously?
Rebecca: Yeah, I think there’s an element of truth to that. First of all, you need a lot more than beauty to be a great actress in this world. There are lots of beautiful, beautiful women in this world. Sometimes I think you have to remove that whole element of physical beauty in order to get people to see that you’re actually a really talented person. Sometimes, people just can’t get over it. Charlize Theron is a great example: She’s a really talented woman. So is Nicole Kidman. So is Halle Berry. It’s a shame if people can’t get past that, but you know, that’s the joy of acting too. You get to embody these different characters and turn yourself into somebody else.
Question: You could have worse problems.
Rebecca: Exactly. And by the way, any actor’s looks are always going to dictate to a certain extent the roles he’s going to be up for. Your race, or your height, or your gender, how fat you are, how skinny - there’s only a certain amount of roles you can play based on how you look.
Question: What actors or actresses inspire you?
Rebecca: The actresses that have found a combination of sexy and funny, like Marilyn Monroe or Goldie Hawn. There are a lot of really sexy actresses that are afraid to be funny. Cameron Diaz I think is a perfect example. She’s a sexy slash funny actress.
Question: Are you looking at romantic comedies?
Rebecca: I am, but I’m very picky. There’s a lot of romantic comedies that don’t really appeal to me. There’s a little, independent film that I’m hoping to start with Andy Fleming tentatively called "Whatever Turns You On," about a group of sexual fetishists. My character is a woman who gets turned on by making traffic violations in front of cops so she can seduce them. Except it never works so she just keeps getting tickets. So she goes to group therapy cause she can’t figure out what she’s doing wrong. She doesn’t think she has a problem.
Question: Is there an embarrassing moment in life you wish you could take back? Rebecca: I did this small part in an Al Pacino movie, "Simone," and I had a cold the day I was working with him on this scene. I was straddling him, getting ready to make out with him on the couch, and while we were rehearsing the scene a giant drop of snot dropped out of my nose and onto his face. I was mortified. I wandered back to my trailer in shock. I called my mother, "I just snotted on Al Pacino." But he was great about it. We came back from lunch and he was like [in Al Pacino voice] "Don’t be silly, I loved it!" He probably did love it. When stuff weird or out of the ordinary happens they probably love it.
Question: How does your process work as an actress?
Rebecca: Uh, it depends on what we’re doing, what scene we’re shooting for that day. I don’t completely break. I try to stay [in character] as much as possible. Especially for "Godsend," so much of it was emotional, we had to work quickly so we would try to not lose our concentration. There was one day - it was actually the day where DeNiro’s character comes and offers to clone our kid for us. You know, I’m down and out, Greg’s down and out, Bob’s doing his thing. [Instead of going back to the trailer in between shots]They put us in the church. They just had these three chairs and we’re in there, the three of us, kinda in our own worlds. They had an extra playing the priest of the church, this 80-year old man. This man comes in and he walks up to Bob and he says [yelling] "Hi, I’m Bernie. I’m from Newfoundland. Do you know any Newfoundland jokes?" And Bob’s like "Uh, no, I don’t know any jokes about Newfoundland." And I’m starting to lose it. So then Bernie starts to tell him some jokes. It was very, very funny.

Part 2 Biblical Origin of Chinese People
Part 2-Anyone Interested in Biblical Origin of Chinese People
Recently, I published the first part of the Introduction chapter of my book "Middle Kingdom - Legendary Beginning of China and the Bible" (go to my archive hubs to see the page) to see if Christians in the West have interest in the biblical origin of Chinese people. I got only a handful of comments but there is increasing traffic showing up to this day. I'm encouraged although I hope to see more comments. So I decided to publish the last part of the Introduction chapter here. Please spread the word and write me comment...
You can order my book and ebook version of "Middle Kingdom - Legendary Beginning of China and the Bible", total 117 pages at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/middlekingdom
Part 2 ... Excerpt from the Introduction Chapter from the book "Middle Kingdom-Legendarg Beginning of China and the Bible"
... Mankind's first civilization arose in ancient Near East. The Sumerians were the first people to spread civilization to the world. The legendary sages in China could come from people in the ancient Near East.
Up to now archaeologists could only find archaeological evidences of the Shang Dynasty (1766 BC to 1050 BC) in Anyang (Shang palace) and other sites in northeastern China. Thus, the Shang Dynasty marked the beginning point of substantiated Chinese history. However, this doesn't mean the legendary sages, Yellow Emperor, and the Xia Dynasty are fiction. There are ancient Chinese documents made references to their existence. Therefore, Chinese historians included them as legends in the beginning history of China. The truth is the origin of Chinese people is a complicated conundrum.
Chinese historians assumed Mongoloid people were the only type of people occupied China in the beginning.. Therefore, all legendary figures such as Yellow Emperor, the three sovereigns, five sages, and the primitive people in Chinese legends were Mongoloid people. Although Chinese archaeologists discovered ancient human skulls and remains that anatomically pointed to the Mongoloid type of human, how could Chinese historians and archaeologists can be sure that Mongoloid people were the only race occupied in China since the dawn of Chinese history?
Right from the beginning, early Chinese people saw the West was the utopia world where eternal happiness existed. Without any particular religion influenced the mind of the early Chinese people, they mysteriously possessed ideas of a utopia paradise in the west (Garden of Eden), a supreme deity (God) ruling heaven and earth, a heavenly empire (Kingdom of God) in the sky, and obedience to the mandate of heaven (Will of God). How did early people in China invent such profound concepts without any religion? The truth is they didn't.
The above concepts of the early Chinese people suggested that they had a forgotten past in the land of the Bible. I believe some of the other children from the line of Seth and Shem as mentioned in the genealogy in Genesis 5:1-32 and 11:10-26 had reached antediluvian and postdiluvian China. Who else would know these things better than the believers of Yahweh who came from the biblical land?
The other sons and daughters from the line of Seth in 5:1-32 were one of the earliest ancestors of early tribes in the antediluvian China. The early nomads that arrived in China would be small as human population in the antediluvian world of the Bible was concentrated in the Ancient Near East. Unfortunately, the Deluge sent down by God destroyed all mankind, thus, evidences of their existence were all wiped out from the face of China. Thus, this book focuses on the children from the line of Shem to be the sole messengers of Yahweh that had wandered eastward to China and seeded the idea of monotheism there.
After the Deluge, Noah and his three sons: Shem, Japheth and Ham repopulated the world. They became the second wave of migrants and ancestors in the postdiluvian China. Children from the line of Shem were faithful believers of Yahweh. They were the ones who spread the knowledge of God and the stories happened in the early chapters in the Book of Genesis.
The Bible tells us mankind began in the Garden of Eden somewhere in ancient Iraq. From there, mankind dispersed all over the world. As Christian we don't doubt or refute this truth because we believe every word right from the beginning story of the Bible. There is no compromise-period.
To Christians, the origin of mankind is a biblical origin. No amount of scientific and archaeological evidences could change this truth. Christians must either accept the creation of man as is in the Bible or change their religion. This book leans on the truth of the Bible that mankind spread all over the world from the biblical land. Chinese Christians must believe the earliest ancestors of Chinese people came from the biblical land where mankind begun. It is biblical truth which Christians must stop shuffle under the carpet anymore.
I am shocked by some of my Christian friends who believe Darwin's evolution theory that man was evolved from ape. How could they be so confused? Did God create Adam an ape or a man? How could these people still think they're a Christian when they compromised the truth of the Bible?
Influenced by the popularity of Darwin evolution theory, China promotes Chinese people were evolved from the Peking Man (unearthed in Zhoukoudian near Beijing in 1929) dated 500,000-700,000 years ago. Chinese people were told mankind was evolved from ape. However, Chinese archaeologists couldn’t explain which kind of ape did the Chinese evolve from: was it Mongoloid, Caucasian or Negro ape? Had anyone thought why apes in China evolved into Mongoloid Chinese and not Caucasian or Negro?
Darwin ape to man evolution theory is a radical western idea. It is ironic that China has such alacrity to embrace Darwin theory without her normal harsh and belligerent scrutiny of western ideas.
This book explores the obscure footprints left behind by the believers of Yahweh who had migrated to antediluvian and postdiluvian China. They were the other sons and daughters from the line of Seth and Shem mentioned in the genealogy in Genesis 5:1-32 and 11:10-26. They and their descendants were the ones who spread and passed down the stories of Genesis creation, Adam and Eve, Garden of Eden, Satan, the Deluge, Tower of Babel, and the idea of monotheism to the early people in China. This were how early Chinese people possessed the knowledge of a supreme deity called Shang-Ti, the heavenly empire (Heaven), and the mandate of heaven (the Will of God).
The impact of the migrated other children from the line of Seth and Shem to the antediluvian and postdiluvian China had instilled the mind of early Chinese people with the idea of virtue, righteousness, and love for one another. Their spreading of a loving and righteous God had raised the level of moral awareness and social decorum in early Chinese society.
Great figures such as Yellow Emperor was a righteous warrior king and the three renowned emperor Yao, Shun, and Yu were benevolent emperors in the legendary history of China. They possessed extraordinary character of virtue and righteousness. How could they become the paragon of exceptional virtuous men in a still untamed world of barbarism and lawlessness in prehistoric China? Were they born with special noble genes of morality or were they influenced by the children from the line of Shem who spread their faith of a loving and righteous God?
The Bible tells us mankind is originated from ancient Near East. Adam and Eve were the first human couple. Their descendants diverse into three types of races: Negro, Caucasian, and Mongoloid. I believe majority of the Mongoloid people had departed the biblical land and journeyed to the East long before the authors of the Bible could trace them. Mongoloid people dominated East Asia. Due to the long isolation from the rest of the world by mountainous terrains and deserts, their posterity had totally forgotten their biblical origin. This book hopes to reconnect them to the divine heritage of the Bible.
The theory presented in this book is my opinion. This is my personal quest for revelation of the biblical origin of Chinese people. Reader should read this book with an open mind.
After I converted to Christian in 1993, I was extremely curious to know the biblical origin of Chinese people. My urge to find an answer for this question became very personal and very addictive. Since then researching and writing about this topic became my personal mission.
It took me many years to write and rewrite this book. By the time I completed this book, I was exhausted after many years of struggling with long hours of writing, rewriting, research, and finding means to put food on the table. I am grateful to God for sustaining my will to keep me writing.
I pray that this book can arouse the interest of Christians and non-Christians in all over the world to search the Bible as a credible source for the origin of their ancestors where Chinese people also share the divine heritage of the Bible.
This book will not prove the migrated children from the line of Seth and Shem had reached early China by scientific or archaeological evidences. The author will let the reader determines if he or she agrees with the things said in this book. Agreement or disagreement is not important; what is importance is that we Christians must have an open and tolerant mind.
Even though this book is completed, however, my research for more evidences in this subject continues. I welcome readers to contact me by email: email@example.com if you wish to share your thought in this subject with me. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoy writing it.
If you're interested to read the entire book, you can order the ebook version for only US$10. Just email your order with your full name to firstname.lastname@example.org I'll send you instruction to pay via PayPal and as soon as I received payment, I'll email the ebook to you directly from me.

Testosterone enanthate (Testosterone Enanthate) is an esterified form of testosterone. Active substance planted into ether and stored in fat depots, splits and not immediately in full amount and gradually enters the blood.
Testosterone has a pronounced anabolic properties, accelerates protein synthesis (provides a positive nitrogen balance), and also provides other useful effect for the athlete. In men, testosterone is produced by the Leydig cells of the adrenal cortex and, in women – only by the adrenal cortex. Hormone – a product of peripheral metabolism, moreover, he has a very low activity, because practically does not bind to androgen receptors. Testosterone is a prohormone. This means that before the application of androgen receptors, it is processed (modified) special enzyme – 5-alpha-reductase. Thus, a hormone active form – dihydrotestosterone.
Action and longitudinal profile
Action and steroid profilEnantat – long-acting ester. It should be noted that the period of exposure depends on the individual and can vary by two to three weeks. The half-life of 6-7 days.
- Anabolic effect – 100% of testosterone.
- Androgenic effects – 100% of testosterone.
- The level of conversion into estrogen – is high.
- The suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes – significant.
- Toxicity to the liver – is absent.
- The duration of action – to the crescent.
- Detection time – up to 3 months.
Testosterone enanthate is manufactured exclusively in injection form.
- The increase in muscle mass. The rapid increase in muscle partly due to accumulation of fluid, which occurs as a result of estrogenic activity of testosterone and sodium retention. After a course of Testosterone Enanthate 250 ends, there is the phenomenon of rollback (more or less pronounced).
- The increase in power performance.
- Participation in the formation of secondary sex characteristics (male facial features, body hair, deep voice) and the development of male sex organs.
- Impact on sexual behavior and provision of spermatogenesis.
- Improving phosphorus and nitrogen metabolism.
- Eliminating joint pains, problems with the intervertebral discs and the crunch at the shoulders.
- The stimulation of regenerative processes in the body.
- Strengthening the overall tone and increasing the motivation to train.
- The increase in red cell blood.
- Prevention of overtraining.
Testosterone enanthate course solo
Application enanthate recommended adult athletes, passed a full medical examination. Injections are performed no more than twice a week. The dosage is adjusted individually, and depends on many factors. In general, safe range is from 250 to 500 milligrams. With the increase in body weight can increase the amount administered. The average rate of testosterone enanthate solo lasts about two to two and a half months, the PBC starts only after two or three weeks after the lifting of the steroid. If you are new and do not know how to take testosterone enanthate, it is best to start with 250 milligrams, and track response.
In order to eliminate possible estrogenic side effects, it is best to use Proviron or other aromatase inhibitors – about 2-3 weeks of the course and up to 7 days of its completion. If possible, it is useful to control the level of estradiol: it will allow to track the effectiveness of estrogen suppression “pobochek.” At the end of the reception, to avoid the loss of gain muscle mass you need to take cortisol blockers.
Side effektyKombinirovannye courses
As for how to take testosterone enanthate in combination with other steroids, it is a set of muscle mass is best achieved in combination with trenbolone, methandrostenolone, nandrolone and Anadrol. At the same dosage of each drug is reduced down to the minimum recommended by the course solo.
Testosterone Enanthate biggest drawback is its high level of aromatization, i.e., conversion into oestrogens. This causes frequent side effects (though they occur in the majority of non-compliance with the recommended dose and / or duration of the course) in the form of body fat, edema and gynecomastia. Old method to eliminate these shortcomings lies in taking anti-estrogens. In principle, you can now just to stop the above-mentioned problems, but is much more effective to take aromatase inhibitors on the course. Atiestrogeny needed, but after the abolition of the steroid – to restore normal levels of secretion of testosterone. On the negative side effects of testosterone enanthate is also possible to increase the blood pressure, hair loss, acne, increased aggression.
Reviews of testosterone enanthate
Most people are satisfied with the quality to gain muscle mass. More than half of the athletes unhappy expression rollback phenomenon. Their reviews of testosterone enanthate say that often a third or even more weight out at the end of the course. Fully keep figures is almost impossible.
Yet, the effectiveness of “test” is estimated as high. Testosterone Enanthate is produced by many domestic and foreign manufacturers. Enumerate them does not make sense, as this popular steroid is a line of almost all pharmaceutical concerns and find reviews of testosterone enanthate from any company not be difficult – in our forum there is a discussion of many of the proposed products.

Ultra-sensitive High-throughput Protease Assay
For detection of protease contamination and screening protease inhibitors
Protease contamination even in a trace amount can degrade proteins or peptides during purification, storage or crystallization. Protein or peptide drugs should be protease-free. Proteases are also important drug targets. The Ultra-sensitive High-throughput Protease Assay Kit is useful to detect protease contamination of various protein preparations and to screen protease inhibitors in a 96-well or 384-weel plate assay format. The assay is based on the principle that digestion of the fluorescence-labeled protein substrate results in dramatic increase of the fluorescence signal. The sensitivity of the assay of trypsin, chymotrypsin and proteinase K is below 5 ng/ml or 0.2 ng per assay well for the standard 384-well plate assay.
Each kit (Catalog number UPA1000) includes the 5 ml of 10 x assay buffer and 50 ul of 1000 x substrate for 1000 assays of proteases in a 384-well plate format.

You’ll always find people argue about shepherd’s pie but in my view it should be made with lamb rather than beef (that’s cottage pie) and with very little, if any tomato - apart from maybe a dash of ketchup for sweetness.

Belthangady, June 03, 2019: A crocodile which was spotted inside an abandoned well at Dondole near Dharmasthala on June 2, Sunday was rescued by the personnel of Pilikula Nisargadhama of Mangaluru on June 3, Monday. The crocodile was later released in a steam at Charmadi.
The well located on the edge of a forest area belonged to a local resident. The five and a half foot long crocodile might have possibly entered the dry well which is 15 feet deep, in search of food.
On gathering information, forest officials had arrived at the spot and had provided food to the crocodile which used to turn violent on seeing a large number of people. As the crocodile was found to be healthy by the Pilikula officials it was released in the stream. Had it been injured, then it would have been shifted to Pilikula.

“Dazzling. They fill the stage with huge beautiful drums and beat seven bells out of them at an unrelenting decibel level and with phenomenal skill. Simply breathtaking drumming."– London Telegraph
The dynamic Yamato drummers of Japan have enthralled audiences for nearly 20 years with passion, excitement, and sheer force. Yamato play Wadaiko drums that range from the size of a plate to over six feet in diameter, including the Odaiko drum, hewn from one huge tree over four hundred years old. Founded in Nara—considered the birthplace of Japanese culture—the 17 master drummers of Yamato are young, modern, and brimming with infectious energy as they take the ancient art of taiko drumming and bring it to the present. Yamato thinks of the sound of the drums as a pulse or heartbeat (Shin-on), the center of life and the source of power, which pulsates within the human body. Athleticism, superhuman feats of coordination and incredible intensity are the trademarks of this irresistible ensemble.

The Ambiguity Of Play
I got a reply about the job I applied for. It wasn’t a 100% yes, but she said she would love to have me though she had to finalise things. Anyway, that’s that. I’ll get a full confirmation next week.
On joyful (or lesser?) notes, I have worked on my essay. I haven’t done any today – bollocks – but I should get it done by Tuesday, which is when it’s due. I must get it done. 🙄
I got an extension on my other assignment, to which I am breathing a huge sigh of relief. I can put in more work to this essay. But blast, I’m annoyed that I didn’t work on it today. /angry
I’ll be working hard on it tomorrow in the hopes I’ll finish tomorrow too. 😰
Wow, so where was I. Whinging. Since Ashpink.com is now pretty much gone, that leaves me problems with my domain Woodnotes.org. I can’t restore the database and to be honest, I’ve lost the motivation to write all my lovely little notes again. I might just change it to a rambling random blog or just start afresh. I have the layout coding; at least that’ll be a breeze.
It’s possible I’ll be going ahead with that recipes site and getting submissions from people. However, if you have an idea for what I can use a domain for, please tell me! I would really, really appreciate it, especially if I use your idea. It’s just… wow. I have so many domain names I want, but not enough uses.
And yes, I’ll eventually be opening subdomain hosting again.
I’m feeling a heck of a lot better with my life. :) In regards to my last blog and the rude comment that person made about me, I’ve pushed the thoughts of that vain idiot to the back of my mind. I won’t let them hurt me or bother me like that; karma will fire an arrow in their direction as the dawn is slow and their heart will drop as the world dreams less.
Did anyone catch the references to my domains in that sentence? FireTheArrow.com, Slowdawn.info, Heartdrops.org, DreamingLess.com. :D Oh, I’m good.
Today, my dad set out to buy some random tidbits. A few tomatoes, a bunch of mushrooms, one big red capsicum, one big green capsicum, a few handfuls of ham, some grated cheese…
We were making a pizza!
Normally I don’t like pizza and certain kinds can be greasy and downright terrible. But it was fun making this pizza. We got to put whatever we wanted on it. As you can see, it looks packed! We had salami and pepperoni as well, and just drizzled it with sauce.
I guess when you get into making food like this, it becomes more fun and you want to do it more. (Piano Stairs is a video that tests this “Fun Theory”.)
The pizza base was actually very thick. It wasn’t the kind that was filled with air and plumped up. It was thick like pastry or actual bread. So we got very full easily.
It was a good thing, in a way. My brother usually eats almost a whole pizza, but this time he only had about three pieces. I was very full as well. :D
I got my Threadless tee in the mail yesterday (I chose this one). Dayna wanted me to take a photo of myself wearing it but I’ll do that next time because I totally forgot. :P
Heartdrops is officially one year old tomorrow. ♥️

General Ashfaq Kayani, head of the Pakistani army since 2007, is the most powerful man in a country with huge geopolitical significance - he is responsible for the battle against Islamist militants, managing tensions with India and securing the country's nuclear arsenal.
Hailed as a "soldier's soldier" in the US, he has endorsed democracy - noteworthy in a country blighted by military dictatorships. He is also hugely popular among the Pakistani people, having visited flood-stricken regions and donated military salaries to the relief effort while the president was on an expensive foreign tour.
But will this apparently apolitical man use the national calamity to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and move against the weak civilian government?

This fascinating little book wants you to know right up front that it is, as the title says, "not a guide to Glasgow". If you were looking for a "does what it says on the tin" title, then something like "A Glasgow Factbook" would have just about covered it. What the reader finds between the covers is a wealth of snippets about past and present Glasgow that helps bring the city to life and allow residents and visitors alike to see beneath a surface which is often distractingly in your face. The result is a book which is thought provoking, enlightening, entertaining and, as we've already said, fascinating.
Want to know about the city's climate; its population; its parks; its street names (including the 13 that made up the entire city as late as 1750); or how far away from Campbell Island in New Zealand it is? Look no further, because the answers are here. Here, too, is an excellent historical timeline over a series of pages, and information about famous Glaswegians, whether they be scientists, inventors, explorers, adventurers, musicians, actors, writers, poets and journalists, as well as figures from the business and political worlds.
No book about Glasgow can overlook the deep vein of humour which is one of the city's most distinctive characteristics: and the author has embraced this while ensuring that the book remains an essentially factual one. So we read, for example, that one of the best ways to start a "rammy" in a Glasgow pub "is to point out that both of the city's patron saints came from Fife." And that the city is known for having two seasons, July and Raining.
Author Bruce Durie is Course Director for Genealogical Studies at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow and has published a number of books on local history and genealogy as well as being a radio presenter. He brings to the collection and selection of material an obviously deep insight into the city, and the look and feel of the book benefits greatly from the excellent collection of black and white images, some historical, others contemporary, used to illustrate most of its right hand facing pages.

2. Define Kootchypop, the title of Hootie's 1993 debut EP. It's what you think it is. It's the most important body part in the whole world. And men don't have one.
3. Dave Matthews Band are playing at the SigEp house at 8:30 p.m., G. Love is rocking out at Phi Gamma at 10, and Hootie go on stage at AEPi at 1 a.m. How many kegs do you order for each show? Oh wow. For G. Love, you need five. For Dave, you're gonna need 10. For us, if we're goin' on at one, you're definitely gonna need 15 or 20.
4. Who was the producer of the new Hootie album? Don Was.

In the previous post, we covered the Dos and Don’ts of representing or structuring data and how to prioritise conditions. In this post, we will take a look at the type of reasoning sets that pose major challenges to the average test-taker.
After the previous posts, a few of you had commented saying that you are eagerly awaiting the post on the DI-LR section. The earnestness is understandable since most of you who are facing the SimCATs will know that the DI-LR section is one that will make or break your CAT.If it goes well, you will take that confidence into the QA section finish strong. If your performance on the DI-LR section goes south then you will start feeling the fatigue of 120 minutes of testing and will fade away in the last section. The latter was the case with most test-takers last year.
In the previous two posts, RC-1 and RC-2, we discussed 3 RCs from CAT 2017 Slot – 2 and executed a specific strategy — paragraph to questions — to solve CAT RCs that will increase your accuracy. In this final post of this series, we will solve the two remaining passages and fine-tune the methods discussed so far.
In the previous post, we discussed a strategy to approach RCs and solved an actual passage from CAT 2017 Slot 2. In this post, we will take up a few more passages from the same slot and execute the strategy.
So much weight does RC have on the CAT, so many are the difficulties faced by test-takers and so frequent are the queries that I receive about RC, that I thought that it will be best to devote a series of posts to cracking Reading Comprehension.

Events and classes on CU Campus postponed or canceled
By Peter Alexander March 11 at 1:05 p.m.
Updated at 1:25 p.m.
The Office of the Chancellor at University of Colorado Boulder today made an announcement about campus classes and events. The full ramifications of this announcement for CU Presents and other events is not yet certain. Here are pertinent parts of the announcement form the Office of the Chancellor:
Today, I am announcing several campus actions to help limit COVID-19 risk on our campus. We will continue to fulfill our mission by ensuring that students are able to meet their educational requirements and faculty are able to continue their research and scholarship, and the campus will remain open to allow that to occur. We will continue to operate campus facilities, including residence halls, dining halls, the University Libraries, student recreation centers, the Center for Community, Wardenburg Health Center and the University Memorial Center. But, as local, national and global public health recommendations shift to include mitigation of transmission, we are proactively taking steps to protect the campus and the community.
. . . . .
Effective immediately, multi-day university-sponsored gatherings or those with more than 150 attendees are suspended until further guidance is issued. Event sponsors may request their events still be held and can request exemptions via the campus events exception form.
We will be providing further guidance and direction about how to implement each of these decisions in the coming days. Please continue to reference the latest information at colorado.edu/coronavirus.

A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on June 12:
1987: The Seahawks win the lottery for the first pick in the supplemental draft and select University of Oklahoma linebacker Brian Bosworth. The move cost the team its first-round pick in the 1988 NFL Draft. The colorful, and controversial, Bosworth – aka “The Boz” – would start 24 games in three seasons before a shoulder injury ended his career. He had 78 tackles as a rookie, to finish second on the team behind Pro Bowl linebacker Fredd Young (99); and 82 in 1988, which ranked third behind free safety Eugene Robinson (114) and linebacker Dave Wyman (97).
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on June 4:
1974: The NFL announces that Seattle will have a franchise for the 1976 season. Seattle Professional Football, a group of business and community leaders, had announced in 1972 its intention to attempt securing a franchise and construction of the Kingdome began later that year.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on June 2:
2004: Seahawks Stadium, which opened in 2002, is renamed Qwest Field. The team was 40-21 at home, including playoff games, in seven seasons at Qwest. The Seahawks’ home field became CenturyLink Field in 2011, and the team went 8-0 at home in 2012 for only the third time in franchise history.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on May 26:
1999: Fritz Shurmur, Mike Holmgren’s longtime defensive coordinator who followed him to Seattle from Green Bay earlier in the year, takes a leave of absence after being diagnosed with liver cancer. Shurmur would never coach a game for the Seahawks as he died on Aug. 30.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on May 22:
2001: The Seahawks move from the AFC West to the NFC West as the NFL realigns into eight four-team divisions. Instead of annual home-and-home games against the Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders and Chargers, the Seahawks are now matched twice a season against the 49ers, Cardinals and Rams. The Seahawks had been a member of the NFC West in their inaugural season in 1976, but moved to the AFC West in 1977. The Seahawks won the AFC West title in 1988 and 1999, and captured the NFC West championship from 2004-07 and also in 2010.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on May 15:
2002: It is announced that Seahawks Stadium and Exhibition Center will be the interim name of the team’s new home field that is being built on the site where the Kingdome had stood. The complex was changed to Qwest Field in 2004 and in 2011 it became CenturyLink Field and Event Center. In their 11 seasons at the new facility, the Seahawks are 59-29 in regular-season games – including the only three times they’ve gone 8-0 at home in franchise history (2012, 2005 and 2003) – and 5-1 in postseason games.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on May 14:
2010: Scott Fitterer is promoted to director of college scouting. Fitterer joined the Seahawks in 2001 as an area scout and served five seasons as western region director of college scouting before being named to his current position.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on May 13:
2012: At the conclusion of the team’s three-day rookie minicamp, coach Pete Carroll announces that Russell Wilson will join the competition for the starting quarterback job with free-agent addition Matt Flynn and incumbent starter Tarvaris Jackson. “Here’s what I’m going to say about it, he’s going to be in the competition,” Carroll said of Wilson, who had been selected in the third round of the NFL Draft. “He’s shown us enough, he’s in the competition.” Wilson ended up not only winning the competition, Jackson was traded to the Bills last September and Flynn was traded to the Raiders this April.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on May 10:
2000: Scot McCloughan is appointed director of college scouting. McCloughan would leave after the team’s Super Bowl run in 2005 to become vice president of football operations and then general manager of the San Francisco 49ers. He returned to the Seahawks in 2010 as senior personnel executive.
A look at a memorable moment in Seahawks history that occurred on May 9:
2006: The Seahawks announce plans to move their headquarters from Kirkland to Renton. The team had called Kirkland home – at two locations – since its inaugural season in 1976. The team would remain in Kirkland until Virginia Mason Athletic Center on the shores of Lake Washington in Renton was ready to move into in August of 2008.

When you die your debts become a debt of your estate, generally speaking. There are some debts that terminate on death (federal student loans that aren’t guaranteed by someone else, for example), but most debts need to be dealt with by your executor.
Your executor has a duty to dispose of your debts with the assets of your estate as directed in your will. Having an effective Estate Plan can allow you to determine which assets should be liquidated first to pay the debts, allowing you to direct specific assets to specific beneficiaries if you choose. If you die without a will, your personal representative (same as executor, just a different title because they’re not appointed in a will) will have their choice of how to liquidate your assets and pay your debts. Most likely, they’ll just sell the assets that are easiest to sell or that will net a return large enough to pay the debt, even if the assets have sentiment to your beneficiaries.
If your estate has more assets than debts, the executor or personal representative will pay your debts and distribute the remainder of the estate to your beneficiaries. If your debts outweigh your assets, the assets will be liquidated to pay as much of the debt as possible and the remainder will die with you.
Things can become a little more complicated when you have jointly held debts or guaranteed debts (to be continued).

Does anyone know how to actually check (or uncheck) the View Option\Deformed style '% of Model (Actual)'?
I know how to change the absolute and relative scale values, but in the API I just can't find the property to check or uncheck this checkbox.
Solved! Go to Solution.
That checkbox is connected to the .draw Property of the View Object, this code gets the Active View, loads it, checks to see if the option is checked, and processes accordingly.
The HTML Clipboard
Sub Main Dim App As femap.model Set App = feFemap() Dim viewID As Long Dim feView As femap.View Set feView = App.feView App.feAppGetActiveView( viewID ) If feView.Get( viewID ) = FE_OK Then If feView.Draw( FVI_DEFORMED_STYLE ) Then feView.Draw(FVI_DEFORMED_STYLE) = False Else feView.Draw(FVI_DEFORMED_STYLE ) = True End If feView.Put( viewID ) App.feViewRegenerate( viewID ) End If End Sub

Oliver Stark has been writing for as long as he can remember. As a teenager, he was an avid fan of American detective stories and made his first attempt at crime fiction at the age of sixteen; this never reached publication. After trying a wide variety of jobs, from working in a bookies to managing a pub, he finally gave in to his passion for reading and went on to study literature at university. Oliver now lives in London with his wife and children. American Devil is the first novel in a gritty New York crime thriller series featuring Detective Tom Harper and psychologist Denise Levene. The sequel 88 Killer was published last August, and Oliver is currently working on the third book in the series. In this post he discusses Churchill's A History of the English-Speaking Peoples.
Oliver Stark on A History of the English-Speaking Peoples by Winston Churchill
I was not a great reader of literature as a child, but I was remarkably good at pretending. Throughout primary school, I excelled at feigning the reading of books and I ploughed through my reading project, knowing only the front cover, the blurb and what I could glean from the more literary members of my class.
This approach was repeated at O-level and seemed not to have made a great deal of difference. Those who read the books we were tested on seem to have come away with the same result as I achieved. Reading, I concluded, was unnecessary.
I did read a certain number of graphic novels, and some detective fiction and horror fiction but, of course, I never considered this reading as such, more of a slightly immoral and clandestine activity. Indeed, reading as required by school, from Blue Book 5 to The History of Mr Polly was something I had to do with my rational and thinking brain, which was, unfortunately, very lazy and underdeveloped. Reading Guy N. Smith's Night of the Crabs, or Mickey Spillane's detective novels, however, asked for no such evolutionary nicety.
Reason was there, of course, but as a function of plot and story; the heart of the experience was a visceral excitement. Action dominated, fears loomed and dangers threatened. The next chapter appeared and then the next, and the heat of the battles and struggles seemed to turn the pages themselves. With school books, I often felt the need to re-read the opening paragraph several times.
That is a long-winded way of saying that my way of developing a love of story was through detective fiction and pulp horror. It was only later that I discovered the finer aspects of literature, of philosophy and of history.
However, as a youngster, someone suggested that I might try a touch of history, if it was blood and danger and plot that I enjoyed, so I read a book that was offered. It was by a man called Churchill whose name was vaguely familiar.
It took a little time to win me over, of course, as the tone is quite grand, but a story is not just a matter of the tale told but also of the teller, and this storyteller had something in his style that made me want to read on.
So read on I did, and found, as promised, all the blood, the fear, the danger, the horror, that I could have wished for, yet told not about a hero saving the world from giant crabs but about successive invasions and wars over a small island called Britain.
It was, of course, Churchill's incredible historical survey, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. It now amazes me that it was a book started before the Second World War and completed long after. A story of Britain that was shaped by the hand of a man who knew what the fate of a nation felt like in his hands and knew why it mattered to have some greater 'myth' or story upon which to attach your smaller life. This understanding, as I read it again recently, adds a poignancy to every sentence.
So here was a book, not of literature, but based on history and retold with the vision and character and passion of a great storyteller. It rose and fell with the fates of its character, but you always felt that good would win in the end and that good was what mattered. And it was history told as a sweeping and fast narrative - history as page-turner, as horror, as graphic novel, as detective story. I loved its endless variations, the twists and turns of fate, the terrible battles, the horrible losses, the myth of the land of Britain rising above it all.
I remember being deeply upset at the loss of 80,000 or more of Boudicca's army at the hands of the disciplined Roman legions. Her story was more vicious, more bloody, more full of revenge than any I'd ever come across in fiction. Britain was no longer the grey drab country of boredom and rain, but was transformed into the most heart-rending story of betrayal, rape - the story of the savage revenge of a nation and the slaughter of the rebellious tribes.
I have read many accounts of Britain since then, by many different writers who have adopted different approaches to take us through the long sweep of history, and many of them may be better historians than Churchill, but few, if any, will leave you with a great passion for the story, and a feeling of being in the hands of a master storyteller.
And, of course, it makes the spine tingle that little bit more to think that this storyteller was himself a great part of the story.
I think of the books we read now and value, and the stories we tell to children, and I wonder whether there is enough about them to awaken not only the intelligence and the poetry of the reader, but the heart, the lungs and the instinct. When I think of the books that woke up my instincts, it was the unknown cousins of literature, every time. Literature was a much later visitor.

The Bajo's tribe was born and lives on the sea. It has become a part of their life, for example, fishing as income primary source for them. Most of their life happened on the sea, not only for income but also as a playground of their children. We can see children playing on the sea for different kind of games, for example swimming competition, playing ball, diving, and so forth. On the other side, children were playing on the land in front or around their home, e.g., main karet, lompat tali, balap ban, and bermain kelereng (in Indonesia). Kinds of these games were mentioned as traditional games which involved much physical activity. Traditional games are usually available played by children in the rural community due to the lower cost compared to the modern games (video games). Rural children are more likely to live in low-income families . Consequently, traditional games are mostly used by children, especially in Bajo's children.
Play can be considered as a form of behavior, which takes place according to rules in a specific space and time. Due to this feature, playing becomes the subject of study in different sciences. The interest in the study of play arises in pedagogy, psychology, sociology, ethnology, philosophy, but is also an essential segment of art, economy, and other areas. That fact confirms the importance of play as a unique phenomenon which accompanies us throughout our lives from early childhood. There are many games which are meant for a different age of groups of children and adults. Some of those are used in working with children, due to the possible effect on the improvement of a child psycho-physical state. In the traditional game, the players pay attention to abiding by the rules and warn each other about certain deflections. Children are very critical and consistent in implementing specific rules. During the game, they warn each other about behavior which is not allowed. Therefore, traditional game based-school can improve the human relationships between students in class and increase of students' socialization outside classes . It can be inferred that traditional games useful for children social development.
Others benefits of traditional games are the intensity of positive emotions was higher in cooperative games and lower in individual games. It can contribute to the motor, linguistic, cognitive and social-emotional development fields of children . All of them are mentioned as a psychological healthy for children. Another side, traditional games as physical activity or active playing can give benefit to physical health, i.e., increase heart rate, oxygen consumption, and blood pressure. This benefit indicates a potential role of playing strategies for cardiovascular health in children . All of the benefits of traditional games mentioned are not only for psychological health but also for physical health for children.
This recent study focused on the traditional games being specific to Bajo's children, with objectives:
• Bajo's community are on medium and low social, economic status (SES). Moreover, play a traditional game is a way to develop child ability on thinking and emotion as well as socialization between children, as well as physical health.
• Understand how parents believed that traditional games could benefit their children in psychological and physical health.
• Children playing traditional games were not only outside the school but also in the schoolyard. Therefore, the research explored the teachers' perception of traditional games in Bajo's Tribe and how if traditional games would be adapted as part of a local wisdom-based curriculum for further.
The play is considered to have many beneficial effects on the development of children's emotional health. The play is a significant part of a child and referred to as "a child work" for achieving optimal development . Play in children is considered important in achieving the development of his mental health, so the play is a type of therapy in children called play therapy. Play therapy is based on two premises: (i) the child expresses his or her psychological state through play, making play a window into the child's mind, and (ii) by directing the children's play, the therapist can help resolve a child's conflicts.
• Psychomotor Games, i.e., games that require the movement to play but does not show in the communication between the players. For example, yoyo, jump, and kite.
• The cooperation game, a game that requires cooperation among the players with others. For example, the circle game, jump rope, dancing together, or games that need a chorus of mutual sounds.
• The games have opponents:
• Game co. – resistance consists of:
Based on the description of the classification of traditional games, we can conclude that the four classifications of the game focus on movement or physical activity.
In this qualitative research in which data is collected through depth interviews by participants. Participants consist of three teachers and two parents. They are asked comments about the traditional game each other, for parents described what they believe of the traditional game for healthy children. Some questions are: “what kind of games you know from your environment which your children played?”; “What do you know about the advantages of playing the game for your children?” Then, three teachers in the elementary school asked for answers some questions are related traditional games which are played by students in the school. Those questions are: “what your opinion about children played games?”; “is there special anything from playing the game?”; “What is your suggestion to the government from children playing the game in school?”. Researchers develop all questions.
From depth interviews, in traditional games, much information could be reached about the kind of games and their functions to psychological and physical health. The distribution of content features in traditional games according to teachers and parents are presented in Table 1.
|Age of Development/Healthy|
|Kinds of game||Cognitive||Emotion||Social||Physic|
|Throwing the ball on the sea||*||*||*||*|
It is seen that in Table 1, the content features in games are all of them involves cognitive, emotion, and social aspect as psychological health. Some of the games are not enough involves many physical activities. The symbol (-) means physical activity is not higher than a traditional game in the symbol (*).
According the parents are the traditional game can improve memory, happy together with others, meet many friends and to health physically their children. They had believed the game as a heritage from their ancestors. Furthermore, according to the teachers are the game benefits to the students in many areas; they can be social with others, happy and they can create a strategy for win the game. Surely, a traditional game which involves physical activity may be healthy for children (students). Moreover, also, the teachers answer that traditional games most essential to be included in the curriculum, especially for elementary school student (and kindergarten, too).
Meaningful cross-cultural research is increasingly common today, fortunately, supported by a growing number of developmental scientists who grew up outside North America, and the urgent need to recognize and study more diverse groups within and outside the United States is universally recognized
This study explorative had found that traditional game in Bajo's children plays an important role in health psychology and physic. The parents and teachers have the same opinion; they consider it necessary for healthy childhood development. For example, traditional game intervention can improve motor skills for children school age . Motor skills are needing to physic activity, e.g., for sport, playing, and so forth.
Traditional games should not only for children played but also support from parents. Other Study had found that children aged 2 yr to 17 yr found that there are play activities with the children of parents who have had a positive impact on the physical health of children, among other things: walking and exercising together. Also, the togetherness of the child with the parents in exercising a positive influence on emotional health, i.e., children become excited and feel warm with his parents . Parents involved in traditional games are many benefits for their children, one of them is close up the relation between child and parent.
Furthermore, traditional games are necessary to include in the pre-school and primary school curriculum, especially children from rural and not advantage economically. It benefits for the welfare of children and adolescents . A traditional game which is involving physic activity, it can be improved through environmental-based. It has been researched about environmental factors, i.e., home and neighbors who support children social development . Furthermore, the social-ecological model describes the development of physical activity in the context of the environment in homes and schools. An ecological version of information processing illustrates the importance of viewing knowledge and technique dimensions of gameplay as interdependent. Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory was said that environmental factors (ecology) play an important role in life-span development, particularly for the development of children through play. Bronfenbrenner said that there are five levels or system contained in the environment, among others: microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem and chronosystem. In this traditional game played by Bajo's children, include games made by children in the environment around the home and school environment is referred to as the environment microsystem. Children gain experience with friends as well as the involvement of parents and other adults in the second environment the play. These experiences give impact on the development of cognitive, emotional and social as well as achieving physical health, due to traditional games involve physical activity.
The study is preliminary and necessary to follow up by further research using extend participants, primarily for children played the game as the participants. We want to know how they feel while playing the game together with their friends.

Nets Bash Palin as "Bizarre," She'll Still Draw "Car-Wreck Watchers"
After Week of Michael Jackson, Nets Bash Palin as "Bizarre"
"It's bizarre and there's no good explanation. And if she were trying to do away with the kind of speculation that she says has so irritated her, this not the way to do it."
- CBS News political analyst John Dickerson on Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's resignation announcement, July 3 Evening News.
"This is very unusual, even bizarre. Governors just don't stop in the middle of their terms when there's no clear reason."
- Politico reporter Mike Allen in a soundbite shown on the CBS Evening News, July 3.
"It was just the latest bizarre twist for the self-described maverick..."
- NBC correspondent Peter Alexander, July 3 Nightly News.
"It's mystifying. It was a bizarre statement. It didn't make a lot of sense and it doesn't seem to be the kind of thing someone would do if someone was running for President."
- ABC's Cokie Roberts on World News, July 3.
"The man who will now inherit the governor's office in three weeks says the decision [to resign] was vintage Palin....Others describe her performance yesterday as erratic, comparing it to Ross Perot's on-again/off-again presidential run in 1992."
- Correspondent Mike Viqueira on NBC Nightly News, July 4.
Palin Will Still Draw Political "Car-Wreck Watchers"
"Look, she may spend the next year campaigning for Republicans all across the country. She's probably going to be the person that can attract the largest crowds, some of it is car-wreck watchers - you know, they just are coming, kind of curiosity-seekers."
- NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd talking about Palin's resignation, July 3 Nightly News. [Audio/video (0:21): Windows Media | MP3 audio]
She's Nixon, Without the Smarts or Experience
"The simple fact of the matter is if Sarah Palin thinks that she's had it tougher than anybody else, she's been more harshly criticized, I have for two words for her: Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton was savaged for eight years....The one thing that came across, I thought, was not only that she was smarting from all this criticism, but she came across as petty and vindictive - Richard Nixon without the policy knowledge or the experience."
- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Cynthia Tucker on ABC's This Week, July 5.
"Elitist" to Complain About Week of Jackson News
Host Howard Kurtz: "Don't you feel deep down that this is overdoing it?"
CNN anchor Don Lemon: "No, I don't feel it's overdoing it. And I don't - and when I hear people say that, I have to be very honest with you, Howie, I think it's elitist....Michael Jackson is an accidental civil rights leader, an accidental pioneer. He broke ground and barriers in so many different realms in artistry, in pictures, in movies, in music, you name it. So, no, I don't think it's overkill."
- Exchange on CNN's Reliable Sources, July 5.
Adultery Worse for "Sanctimonious" Republicans
"The problem Republicans have - so many of them are sanctimonious. They thump the Bible. They condemn everyone else, and when they [act] human, they don't have much credit in the bank for forgiveness."
- ABC's Sam Donaldson talking about the adultery confession of Governor Mark Sanford (R-SC) on Good Morning America, June 25. [Audio/video (0:39): Windows Media | MP3 audio]
"Have Republicans finally embarrassed themselves out of calling themselves the family values party?"
- Chris Matthews on his syndicated The Chris Matthews Show, June 28.
George Sees Double Standard Penalizing Democratic Adulterers
Anchor Charles Gibson: "We've had a lot of governors and senators with these kinds of problems, personal indiscretions. Governors Spitzer, McGreevey, Blagojevich of Illinois, now Sanford, and Senators Craig, Vitter, and Ensign. There's a lot of them."
George Stephanopoulos: "Boy, there sure are. But one remarkable fact, Charlie, you look at the breakdown, on the Democratic side, Spitzer, McGreevey, you add the Detroit Mayor, Kilpatrick, all of the politicians were forced out of office. Everyone of the Republicans you just mentioned held on."
- ABC's World News, June 24.
Touting Obama's "Bold Display of Concern"
"President Obama has a message for some critics: he will get his way. Today he made a bold promise regarding health care reform and, in a bold display of presidential concern, the President comforted a sick and emotional woman."
- Fill-in anchor Suzanne Malveaux on CNN's The Situation Room, July 1. [Audio/video (0:21): Windows Media | MP3 audio]
Correspondent Savannah Guthrie: "The President solicited questions on YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, and in person."
Debby Smith, to Obama: "Now I have a new tumor. I have no way to pay for it."
Guthrie: "With a hug for a woman who said she cannot pay her medical bills."
President Obama, to Smith: "I don't want you to feel all-"
Guthrie: "The President hoping this message will speak more powerfully to Congress than any other."
- NBC Nightly News, July 1.
"The Debby we just saw in that piece is Debby Smith. She's a volunteer for the political arm of the President's Democratic National Committee Organizing for America....Nevertheless, the White House denied it controlled today's event."
- FNC White House correspondent Major Garrett on Special Report with Bret Baier, July 1. Neither CNN nor NBC told viewers that Smith is an Obama volunteer and that the White House arranged for her to attend the event.
Even with Sotomayor, Fretting Supreme Court Moving "to the Right"
"The court's term avoided the blockbuster decisions that at one point seemed inevitable. But its path was clear: a patient and steady move to the right led by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., one that is likely to continue even if President Obama is successful in adding Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the high court - and perhaps two others like her."
- Washington Post reporter Robert Barnes in a July 1 review of the Supreme Court's 2008-09 session: "Term Saw High Court Move to the Right."
"If Judge Sonia Sotomayor is confirmed by the Senate, she will succeed Justice David H. Souter, a liberal who spent almost two decades on the court....The arrival of a neophyte justice coupled with Chief Justice Roberts's increasing mastery of the judicial machinery foreshadow a widening gap between the Democratic-led political branches and the Supreme Court. Indeed, the court appears poised to move to the right in the Obama era."
- New York Times reporter Adam Liptak in a July 1 "news analysis."
ABC Showcases Russian Teens Enamored with Obama
"Pushing the reset button was never going to be easy in a country where anti-Americanism is a well-established tradition....But the majority also said that with President Obama's visit to Moscow this week, they do expect relations to improve. At this Kremlin-sponsored summer camp, thousands of young people from across the country enjoy outdoor activities and are schooled in Russian nationalism. Lecture topics include the 'McDonalds-ization of the World.' But they are optimistic about President Obama. 'He's so young and energetic,' says Vagiz, 'and he will give a new surge to our relationship.' 'I see Obama as an innovator in your country,' adds Alexander. 'New face, new relationship.'"
- ABC's Clarissa Ward on World News, July 6.
Liberal House Boss = King David and Ted Williams, All Rolled Into One
"Henry Waxman is to Congress what Ted Williams was to baseball - a natural....Waxman was born to be a member of the House, ideally the chairman of an important committee....[Waxman's book] is the voice of David, whose career has featured the slaying of one Goliath after another."
- Washington Post associate editor Robert Kaiser in a July 5 book review of The Waxman Report.
Covering Michelle Obama, "Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend"
"'Without a doubt, I identify with her as a brown-skinned African American woman,' [Newsweek's Allison] Samuels says. 'Now we have Michelle and see her as a mother, a lawyer, a wife, and she's doing it fabulously.' Samuels got to interview Obama during the campaign and 'we had a girlfriend-to-girlfriend moment. We did connect.'"
- Quoted by Washington Post media writer Howard Kurtz, July 2 article.
Amanpour: My Biases Are a Complete Mystery
"I ask people just to look at my body of work. And nobody knows my biases. Do they think I'm against? Do they think I'm for? They don't know my biases. They don't know where I come from in this. I just try very hard to report the facts and to tell the stories as best as I can. I am not part of the current crop of opinion journalists or commentary journalists or feelings journalists. I strongly believe that I have to remain in the realm of fact."
- CNN's Christiane Amanpour to CBS's Lesley Stahl in a June 23 "Women on the Web" interview.
Next Phase of Obama's Honeymoon with Journalists
"The hot sex is over, they're in the cigarette stage right now. You get a question or two that's slightly obstreperous, but the adulatory coverage is still all wall-to-wall."
- Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer on the June 26 Inside Washington.
Ronald Reagan Was a "Dumb Son of a Bitch"
Host Bill Maher: "I always wondered why you never did a Reagan movie. It seems like that is the type of character you could do very well with."
Director Oliver Stone: "You know, Nixon always said Reagan was a dumb son of a bitch and, you know, I think that he was [audience applause]. And I think, I really think George W. is dumber [more applause]."
Stone: "I do think that by doing the W movie I kind of put all my efforts behind dumbness and I don't want to go back there because, you know, I'm not the Farrelly brothers."

Toddler Zap is playing with her blocks while Mom has a few moments for herself. Since all looks calm, Mom leaves Toddler Zap and goes to the kitchen to tend to her baking. Mom stops to listen for Toddler Zap but everything is too quiet. When Mom goes to find her, Toddler Zap is gone - only to be discovered at the desk in the den, very busily scribbling on the bills waiting to be paid, just like she has seen Mom do. In the process, ink from the pen has leaked all over one of them. Toddler Zap is proud of her work and shows Mom. At first, Mom starts to get angry, but quickly realizes that Toddler Zap doesn't know she has done anything wrong. Mom says how nice her work is and then takes her off to her own room where she redirects her to a more appropriate activity: playing with her crayons.
Redirecting a child's inappropriate behaviour to something that is good is one way of teaching her what a more appropriate behaviour might be. This is certainly what to do when your child is too young to realize she's done anything wrong.
If you must leave a young child alone, take steps to keep him in a safe area. Toddlers toddle - faster than you think! Try closing doors and using baby gates to keep him in one place, but don't depend on such precautions - it's easy for someone to forget and leave a gate open.
Your child will copy your behaviour, so keep that in mind. She also likes to feel "grown up."
Some things that your child does, while bad, will nevertheless be funny or cute. Try not to show your amusement too plainly, because you might encourage him to do it again, to make you laugh. And remember that they're not the child's "fault." It doesn't help to get upset. Consider your child's feelings, too. He may be proud of what he's done. Try to redirect him without hurting his self-esteem.
Food for Thought:
- How do I cope with having to watch my toddler all the time?
- How do I get anything done if I can't leave my toddler alone?
- I think this was bad behaviour, not cute - isn't this a situation for discipline?

AdvantEdge Workspaces began in 1988 as Washington Executive Services, Inc. when Gavri, opened his first office suite at our West End Center located in the World Wildlife Fund building (1250 24th Street NW) featuring 20,000 square feet of premium office space. In 1990, after seeing the success of the West End Center, Prakash opened a second office suite at our Chevy Chase Center in the Chevy Chase Pavilion building. This location, called Chevy Chase Executive Services, Inc., opened with 11,000 square feet of office space suited to businesses looking for a DC address with easy access to the MD and VA suburbs.
In 2004, the AdvantEdge Business Centers brand was created to unite the two companies—a move which allowed the addition of our newest location, 2101 L Street. Opened in April of 2012, our Downtown Center is located in the Central Business District at the corner of 21st & L Streets (2101 L Street NW) connecting businesses to Downtown DC and Capitol Hill.
Spring of 2016 marked a milestone in our business history as we added an additional 23,000 sq ft of space at our Downtown DC location and retired the use of our West End location. With our 30th Anniversary quickly approaching, we took the leap in 2017 to rebrand ourselves as AdvantEdge Workspaces to reflect the ever-expanding diversity of workspace and business support options that we offer.
Each of our business centers and office spaces in Washington, DC have grown considerably since their foundation, most notably our Chevy Chase DC location. This center has more than quadrupled in size, expanding from 11,000 square feet to its current size of 52,000 square feet.
Our Downtown DC Center has nearly tripled in size since its opening, adding 10,000 square feet in March of 2013, 11,000 square feet in March of 2014, and 23,000 square feet in May of 2016 to create the current space consisting of close to 75,000 square feet across three suites.

Water use by sectors
All economic sectors need water; agriculture, industry and most forms of energy production are not possible without water.
Navigation and a variety of recreational activities also depend on water. The most important uses, in terms of total abstraction, have been identified as urban (households and industry connected to the public water supply system), industry, agriculture and energy (cooling in power plants). On average, 44 % of total water abstraction in Europe is used for agriculture, 40 % for industry and energy production (cooling in power plants), and 15 % for public water supply. The main water consumption sectors are irrigation, urban, and manufacturing industry.
Southern European countries use the largest percentages of abstracted water for agriculture. This generally accounts for more than two-thirds of total abstraction. Irrigation is the most significant use of water in the agriculture sector in these countries.
Central European and the Nordic countries use the largest percentages of abstracted water for cooling in energy production, industrial production and public water supply.

Queen’s song We Will Rock You is in the Grammy Hall of Fame and one of the Greatest Songs of All Time, but when it was first released in 1977 it was on the B-side of the single. In this age of digital music, B-sides no longer exist but the designation was once simultaneously a distinction and a demotion for vinyl-era artists. The B-side song was seen as good, but not good enough to be the one promoted to radio stations or to receive air time.
While I’m sure much debate went into deciding which song made the B-side, the artists and producers did not always choose the one audiences favored. In addition to We Will Rock You, other notable B-sides included Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers, Gloria by Van Morrison, Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley & His Comets and even Hound Dog by Elvis. All these songs went on to be hits of their own – and several were more popular than the songs on the A-side (Hung On You; Baby, Please Don’t Go; Thirteen Women).
Keep these songs in mind if you find yourself relegated to a B-side role in your organization. Just because you didn’t get the original lead doesn’t mean that you can’t end up as a winner. Capitalize on the reduced pressure and far exceed everyone’s expectations.
Hat tip to Brenda for the original idea!

According to a recent Medical Economics poll, four out of five physicians said that it is a challenging task to balance the role of a doctor and business person simultaneously. Around 36% respondents considered accounts receivables as a huge challenge for their medical practice.
Are you collecting everything you have earned at your cardiology practice? Is your practice being paid in full according to the payer contracts?
Timely Filing and Error-free Submissions
The most effective way of turning your AR balance into your bank balance is to process the cardiology claims timely for an early settlement. It is important to have an efficient billing team that monitors ARs on a daily basis to ensure that the claims are settled at least within 45 days from the date of submission.
Analyzing and Following up
The team needs to be active in analyzing aged AR days and following-up with the insurance companies to get quick reimbursements. New ARs should be pursued vigorously so that they are settled quickly. This is possible only when the cardiology practice has a management strategy for old ARs.
Automating Revenue Cycle Management
Automating and simplifying the revenue cycle management technology can be an effective way to reclaim the missing funds. However, new technologies have also introduced new challenges that are difficult to handle while treating patients and complying with the healthcare reforms.
Does your in-house billing team ensure a success rate of at least 98% in collections? If the answer is no, you can consider outsourcing your AR management to a third party, i.e. a billing company. Reputed companies have a proven and customized practice management system in place to manage account receivables.
By choosing to outsource cardiology billing services, providers can reap the following benefits:

Remember the last time FYR Macedonia qualified for the Grand Final? Neither do we, but next year the answer to that question will be 2017!
We have to admit that we sort of gave up on Macedonia last year when not even the wonderful, superfab diva Kaliopi managed to scrape together enough points to make it to the Grand Final. And we know, Eurovision is a competition and if your song and performance isn’t good enough, you’re out. There are harsh realities to face even in this pink and sequined studded universe. Still, we can’t help feeling sorry for the Macedonians who have one measly qualification to show for in ten years. Bless them for not giving up!
And bam, out of nowhere, they’re back in the game with a banger of a song! We don’t know how that happened, but it brings us joy. We guess that after years on end without success they finally decided to wipe the slate clean and try something completely different. Bless them again!
We love the cool retro 80s vibe; yet Dance Alone feels as fresh as the contemporary electro pop hitting the charts right know. The chorus is super catchy and we absolutely adore the lush and dreamy production. Jana Burčeska’s vocals remind us of Nina Persson back in The Cardigans’ heydays and its fragile distance perfectly matches the lyrics.
And just like that Macedonia becomes a contender in Kyiv. We take it absolutely for granted that it will qualify and it’s even Top 10 material. But, and there is a major but in this equation, concerning Jana’s ability to perform live and the Macedonians ever present ability to mess up the staging. A slick promo video is not much to go by, and we’re hoping Jana will perform in at least one of the many preview parties leading up to ESC and prove herself worthy of this wicked little pop pearl. Perhaps even once in a blue moon the Macedonian delegation will manage to get the staging right? We suppose stranger things have happened.
We will hit the dance floor in Euroclub when this comes on and one thing’s for certain; Jana will not be dancing alone in Kyiv!

Please let us not underestimate ourselves. It is we, people, who can and must, stop this corruption and abuse of people, and our freedom. One of the ways of doing this is using this media to really get it out there and expose what is going on, and speaking out against it.
This is an awful video showing you militarized police officers criminally invading a man's family home, which also has little children, and shooting his dog (how many reading know what it feels like to lose a dog you love?), because he has some marijuana!
Please share this far and wide as you can in any way you can, speak out against it, and please ask the same. Thankyou.

Who better than an Australian state premier to help you out with an injured horse on the roadside?
Victorian premier Dr Denis Napthine, a veterinarian turned politician, was in the right place at the right time to help an injured standardbred.
Napthine was on his way to open a hospital’s emergency department when he came across an overturned horse trailer on Melbourne’s Western Ring Road.
The trailer had tipped following a tyre blowout. The horse had been removed and was being held on the roadside.
Napthine, who is also racing minister, checked the horse over for the owners.
“I was able to use my veterinary skills to give the horse the once-over,” he told reporters.
“It had some cuts and abrasions, but they were of a minor nature.
“[The owners] were very pleased to see somebody assisting, and when they understood it was the premier, who was a qualified veterinarian, I think they were very pleased.”
Napthine qualified in the early 1970s with a bachelor and master’s degree in veterinary science from Melbourne University.
He worked as a veterinarian and administrator for the agriculture department, before being elected to state parliament.

Any form of academic essay can be a stressful experience to write. Few students have the ability, or the confidence, to write an essay of quality without some external assistance. This could take the form of initial advice from a tutor perhaps, or a check through by a parent or friend, to pick out any fundamental errors at the very least.
Of course you may not want anyone close to you to read your work, particularly if you are struggling with it. This is one of the areas in which essay assistance from an external, reliable source can be so valuable. There are many different types of essay assistance, from general tips and guidelines on how to write an essay, help with the essay's structure and form, its formatting style, and the essential task of ensuring that all grammar and punctuation meets the highest standard.
Without some advice or sufficient previous experience, you may not know how to write an academic essay. It can be a great challenge! Some essay assistance may be required to help you start – and this is not necessarily at the beginning!
First and foremost, your goal is to answer the question which the essay title dictates. Then you must adhere to a logical structure which is quite formalized in academic essay writing. Begin with a brief introduction presenting the main idea of the essay, and introducing the body of your essay to the reader. The main body is where you should put your argument, with supporting reasons in a flow of ideas one after the other. Lastly, the conclusion will summarize your main findings. The introduction can very well be attended to after you have completed the essay, so that your introduction can accurately portray the essay's concept.
This formal structure is exactly the type of essay assistance which can help you stand out from the crowd, and is just one element which you may need to hone your academic writing skills. The essay must be free of errors, of course, and this is where essay assistance is so invaluable. In addition, you may need help with editing out any excess information. Such irrelevancies can easily distract a reader's attention, and the point of your essay could be lost.
The knowledge and reassurance that a third party has a genuine interest in your academic success can be the source of great confidence as you undertake your essay, and a coherent piece of essay writing will be the result of professional essay assistance. There is no easy route to academic success, but you should make the maximum effort to write the best essay which you can achieve, and this will be matched by your partner in excellence.

Coinciding with the release of six new Strata Series multi-layer music discs, Sonicfire Pro 5 builds on its award-winning Mood Mapping® feature with incredible new enhancements that make it possible for any editor to quickly and precisely match the timing of a score with events in a production. Users can simply grab a beat in a piece of music and drag it to a nearby edit point or other key event in their video without changing the rhythm or overall length of the score. SmartSound believes this is the first time such a capability has been available for prerecorded music.
New control over the timing of the music section changes helps editors create dynamic music that matches the pace of their scenes. Also added to this release is the ability to adjust the tempo of any SmartSound music track while maintaining its customization control. These new innovations empower Sonicfire Pro 5 users to create tremendously impactful music scores without requiring time-consuming and complex manual editing.
"Since we announced at The NAB Show, the response to the new timing control features has been phenomenal," said Kevin Klingler, President and CEO of SmartSound Software, Inc. "From top filmmakers using the software for major feature films to giants in the NLE industry, people have been amazed at the ability to precisely control the placement of music beats while the remainder of the track automatically readjusts to finish correctly," Klingler said. "This level of control is not available from any other music library or software product, and is part of what makes Sonicfire Pro 5 the most creative and effective solution ever for creating a customized music score."
A new "Spotting" feature in Sonicfire Pro 5 increases the precision with which musical events can match events in a video. Editors can mark key points in the production where additional musical emphasis is required and Sonicfire Pro 5 will recommend the best-fitting music and provide different options and methods for achieving the best overall fit with the key points in the visual.
This ability to include key events in a video timeline as a factor in the music search is one critical element of the new Sensory Searching feature in SmartSound’s reconfigured Express Track search tool. Sensory Searching uses an individual’s personal musical preferences to drill down to exactly the right piece of music, dynamically changing search results in real-time as the user modifies their parameters. By using their own ears and creative musical preferences, the user always has the option to make a comparative judgment on the current search result and get a new result without having to start the search over.
Sonicfire Pro 5 is available in two editions: the Express Track Edition, which offers access to the improved music search function, and includes basic customization options such as length, arrangement, and overall instrument mix; while the Scoring Edition offers Express Track plus a powerful set of Timeline editing tools, such as Mood Mapping® and the new advanced spotting and timing controls to give editors precise control over the music score. Both editions provide access to the Sensory Searching™ process. The Express Track Edition will be free with any disc purchase from SmartSound’s Music library, or customers can upgrade to the Scoring Edition for just $99.95. Any customer who is a registered Sonicfire Pro 4.5 owner will receive a free upgrade to the Sonicfire Pro 5 Scoring Edition.
The six Strata Series multi-layer discs that are being released in conjunction with Sonicfire Pro 5 are: Richard Band Vol. 7 - Scoring Suites, Adrenaline Rush, Christmas Treasures, Energy Zone, Downtown Mix and House Call. All six will be at a special limited-time introductory price of just $49.95 each or all six for $249 (a savings of over $350).
"Sonicfire Pro 5 is the result of over a decade of research and development, and arrives decisively at the summit of creative technology for the music library industry," said Klingler. "We are proud to make this achievement free for any current customers as our way of saying thanks for their support throughout the years."

A hugely popular attraction in the Bavarian Swabia region, Augsburg Zoo is located within easy reach of Augsburg city centre, beside the botanical gardens and on the northern fringes of the Siebentischwald woods.
More than 2,000 animals, from all over the world and representing over 350 species, live in around 22 child-friendly hectares at Augsburg Zoo.
There is so much to discover on an animal expedition in this park-like urban zoo: fur seals splashing around as they are fed, a vigilant pride of lions at the entrance, free-roaming peacocks, proudly displaying their feathers and always on the hunt for a treat, the feisty capuchin monkeys and the curious meerkats. You can see penguins swimming, watch giraffes eating and count the stripes on the zebras. Visitors young and old will be enchanted by this beautiful zoo. It has everything an animal lover could ever wish for, from the lion to the zebra, from the elephant to the hummingbird. In the big cat enclosure you can marvel at lions and tigers, and admire other special residents such as the striped hyena and the rare Persian leopard in the new enclosure. There is also a special rocky habitat for wild goat-antelopes including the East Caucasian tur, the markhor, the ibex and the mountain goat. In the tropical glasshouse you'll discover the flora and fauna of the tropical rainforests.
The three-hectare Africa panorama at the heart of the zoo is home to all kinds of different animals, including giraffes, zebras, antelopes and Ankole longhorn cattle. The bear enclosure and the seal feedings are also very popular. Children aged six and above can hear lots of exciting and amusing stories about Augsburg Zoo and its animals on a special guided tour. Along the way, they are given examples of fur, eggs, feathers, skin and hair to touch and smell, while the chance to watch a zookeeper at work provides the highlight of the tour. A ride around the children's zoo on the train is lots of fun in summer. Kids will also love the adorable baby animals and, of course, the petting zoo and adventure playground.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Katy Perry brought her teenage dreams to life at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday night.
A sold-out crowd of 10,000 joined the trippy circus as Perry – decked out in a series of form-fitting outfits adorned with pinwheels and sequins – performed her chart-topping hits amid clouds of pink cotton candy. She sang and danced across a stage transformed into a real-life Candy Land, complete with cupcakes, lollipops, and candy canes.
Perry seemed to be having the time of her life, and why not? Her latest album, “Teenage Dream,” has spawned four No. 1 singles. If the just-released “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” tops the chart, Perry will become the first female singer to achieve that feat – and the first artist to match the record set by Michael Jackson with “Bad” in 1988.
Perry opened her 18-song set with the title track from “Teenage Dream” before launching into “Hummingbird Heartbeat.”
Whimsical and just as sweet as the light-up cotton candy being sold throughout the arena, Perry welcomed the adoring throng to the Connecticut casino and questioned them about their wins and losses before singing the appropriate “Waking Up in Vegas.”
Backed by a tight five-piece band and 10 energetic dancers, Perry’s “California Dreams 2011” tour is a highly theatrical and immensely entertaining spectacle.
The 26-year-old California native went through a seemingly endless parade of costume changes during the night. She wore no fewer than seven outfits during “Hot n Cold’ – easily eclipsing the Mohegan Sun record set by Cher nearly a decade ago. The most striking were a colorful feather-tailed frock worn during “Peacock,” and a flattering black cat suit featured in “Circle the Drain” and “E.T.”
While there is little doubt Perry is attractive, what was most surprising was how much stronger her voice sounded in concert. The sometimes wispy Top 40 vocals found on disc were replaced with a far richer sound.
She fiddled with the arrangement of her early hit “I Kissed a Girl,” giving it a pleasing torch intro.
Paying tribute to her favorite songs of the past year, Perry sang with an acoustic trio on a reworked medley of Rihanna’s “Only Girl (In the World),” Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’” and Willow’s “Whip My Hair.”
Strapping on an acoustic guitar, Perry boarded a pink cotton candy cloud, which hoisted her above the crowd and floated across the arena, where she crooned “Thinking of You.”
In the final songs of the night, Perry performed an energetic cover of Whitney Houston’s 1987 smash hit “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.” She invited scores of audience members, ranging from fresh-faced school children to Goth rockers, to join her onstage and dance.
Pyrotechnics reigned during Perry’s set closer, “Firework.” She returned to the stage to sing her radio-friendly hit “California Gurls.”
Opening for Perry was Marina & the Diamonds. There 30-minute set included the well-received “Hollywood” and “Shampain.” Following the Welsh-born signer, DJ Skeet Skeet kept things rolling until Perry took the stage.

Herbert Blomstedt, Conductor Laureate of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), served as the Symphony’s Music Director from 1985 to 1995. During that decade, he raised the orchestra’s standards and its international stature. Blomstedt led the SFS on successful tours of the United States, Europe, and Asia, conducting performances at the major festivals in Salzburg, Edinburgh, and Lucerne. The recordings he made with the SFS, including the complete cycles of Nielsen and Sibelius symphonies, scored numerous awards -- France’s Grand Prix du Disque, Britain’s Gramophone Award, and two Grammy® awards. Their recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 was named Best Recording of 1995 by the Association of German Record Critics.
Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1927, Blomstedt moved with his family to Sweden two years later. He attended the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and the University of Uppsala. He studied contemporary music at Darmstadt and Baroque music at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Blomstedt continued his conducting studies with Igor Markevitch in Salzburg, with Jean Morel at Juilliard, and with Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood’s Berkshire Music Center. His talent was quickly recognized. In 1953, he won the prestigious Koussevitzky Conducting Prize. The next year, he made his conducting debut with the Stockholm Philharmonic and landed his first post, as Music Director of Sweden’s Norrköping Symphony. In 1955, he won first prize at the Salzburg Conducting Competition.
Before coming to San Francisco, Blomstedt was chief conductor of the venerable Dresden Staatskapelle from 1975 to 1985. He led that orchestra’s first performances in the United States, and made numerous recordings with it, including complete cycles of the Beethoven and Schubert symphonies. After his decade-long tenure with the SFS, he became Music Director of Hamburg’s NDR Symphony Orchestra, and served in the same capacity at the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig from 1998 to 2005. Among many other works, he recorded Brahms’s Fourth Symphony, Sandström’s High Mass, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah with the Leipzig musicians. The German label Querstand has released a set of live recordings from Blomstedt’s tenure with the Gewandhaus Orchestra. He is currently its Honorary Conductor, a title he also holds with Japan’s NHK Symphony, the Danish and Swedish radio symphonies, and the Bamberg Symphony in Germany, which he has conducted since 1982.
Blomstedt is a member of the Royal Musical Academy of Stockholm, and has received several honorary doctorates. In 1992, he was awarded Columbia University’s Ditson Award for distinguished service to American music. He received Austria’s Anton Bruckner Prize in 2001 and Denmark’s Carl Nielsen Prize in 2002. He is a Knight of the North Star, Stockholm, and a Knight of the Dannebrogen, Copenhagen. In 2003, he was awarded the Great Cross of Merit by German President Johannes Rau.

She is usually seen in the Mumbai Indians' team dugout along with players, enthusiastically cheering them on, but on the biggest day of the team's IPL career so far, Nita Ambani was conspicuously missing.
The reason: Mrs Ambani and her husband, Mukesh Ambani, were busy with their elder son and daughter's graduation ceremony in New York, forcing them to miss the team's memorable triumph and Sachin Tendulkar's retirement from the IPL.
However, their youngest son Anant was seen celebrating with the team and hoisting the trophy. See pictures
"They were in a catch-22 situation with Akash and Isha's graduation day in New York clashing with the IPL final. Since, it was an once in a life-time thing, they had to fly to New York," a player said. Also read: MS Dhoni avoids the media for second time in two days
The Ambanis however threw a gala party on Monday for the entire team at their Altamount Road residence in Mumbai. See pictures
On Sunday though, Mrs Ambani's absence was largely felt when Sachin bade an emotional farewell from IPL. However, the couple congratulated each member of the squad after the match from New York.
The players later partied till the wee hours of Monday with a host of Mumbai Indians supporters outside their team hotel in Kolkata. Some members had asked Srinivasan to quit: BCCI sources
They left for their respective home cities in batches on Monday afternoon, waving a final goodbye to a city which had given them the elusive IPL Trophy.

The Otter Tail County museum is looking for virtual volunteersOtter Tail County (WDAY TV) -- The Otter Tail County Museum is looking for some volunteers, but not in the way you might expect.
Otter Tail County (WDAY TV) -- The Otter Tail County Museum is looking for some volunteers, but not in the way you might expect.
The volunteers the Otter Tail County museum is looking for is not to guide you through the exhibit but to guide you through cyberspace.
Marcella Wildung has been entering data for the museum to get more of their archive on line to help those doing family research find out what records the museum has. She enjoys being able to work from home.
Wildung: "You don't have to get there at a certain time, or dress up or anything like that and you can do it for however much time you happen to have.
Wildung had been entering obituary information from PDF files the museum sends her, She finds reading the obits fascinating.
Wildung: "A little snapshot of peoples lives and most of them I don't know, so it's always interesting to see what there life has been."
By putting the work on line the museum does not need to store actual copies of the information and with people working from home more can be done than with the limited number of computers at the museum. The museum is also indexing yearbooks for schools in Otter Tail County.

By "redundant" I was referring to a distinctive form or formal feature
that the language could theoretically do without because there is no
context in which that distinction alone serves to convey a difference
in meaning. An example of what I am talking about is the distinction
in English between _we_ and _us_. This does convey a difference in
meaning when taken out of context, but in any syntactic construction
where either form is used the difference is also conveyed by word
order -- thus _the man saw us_ vs. _we saw the man_. In fact in
modern English the case distinctions among pronominal forms are
largely superfluous, though naturally very useful, as can be
illustrated by an example of nearly identical contexts: _mother gave
me socks_ vs. _mother gave my socks_ (to someone, away, etc.)
There is also a degree of redundancy for certain preposition + pronoun
combinations, like _to me_ and _for me_. Thus in _he bought the book
for me_ vs. _he gave the book to me_ the difference in force between
'for' and 'to' is already sufficiently conveyed by the difference in
verbs, such that either can be expressed by the so-called "indirect
object" construction: _he bought me the book_, _he gave me the book_.
The alternative **_he bought the book to me_ is ungrammatical in
English, while _he gave the book for me_ (meaning 'on my behalf')
would normally have an additional context like 'to someone else'
either expressed or implied, and this use of _for me_ cannot be
conveyed by the indirect object in English.
Given that Sindarin is a language that, within the mythology, human
beings are capable of learning to speak (see Appendix F), it seems
reasonable to hypothesize that similar cognitive strategies underlie the
interplay of redundancy and ambiguity that seems evident in its syntax,
though our insights must depend largely on a much better understanding
of the inner workings of our own native languages. Indeed such an
hypothesis is evident (sometimes explicitly but usually implicitly) in most
discussions of Elvish. Ironically, the very analytical or pattern-seeking
process, by which we can extrapolate information from a limited corpus
of data, inherently favors theories that involve fewer redundancies and
ambiguities over theories that involve more. Not that I see any way
to avoid this pitfall other than to be aware of it when attempting to
draw inferences about likelihood.
While Sindarin retains a more extensive inflexional component than
English, at a morpheme level the situation of its pronouns seems to be
similar. In so far as we can tell, the forms _im_ in _anim_ and _im
Narvi_, _nin_ in _tiro nin_, and _ni_ in _bêd enni_ are in
complementary distribution. And in this sense the final consonant of
_nin_ would be redundant, unless there is a contrasting construction
*_tiro ni_ which means something different from 'guard me!' (Which of
course there might be...)
But all this really implies is that the differences among these forms
are relicts of an earlier stage of the language where they may have
had more extensive paradigmatic parallels or occurred in contexts
where they contrasted minimally with each other. Such residual formal
distinctions could very well retain a correlation with the basic
syntactic roles they had at an earlier stage, though the fact that the
system is essentially redundant (or largely so -- the evidence is
admittedly sketchy) would render it easily susceptible to analogical
Nothing David proposes is incompatible with these observations. But
neither do the data seem incompatible with (or even unfavorable to)
the possibility that _nin_ 'me' could combine with a preposition. The
form _im_ can be used both with and without preposition, and perhaps
_ni_ also if it occurs in the sentence (a "password") _Gir..
edlothiand na ngalad melon i ni [?sevo] ni [?edran]_ (VIII:293).

In contrast with _ammen_ ('for us' VI:413, 'of us' VII:175) part of
the context of the form _anim_ ('for myself' Appendix A I (v)) is its
co-reference with the subject ('I' in _ú-chebin_ 'I have kept
no'). In the other two occurrences of the pronoun _im_ it accompanies
the name of the subject (_im Narvi hain echant_; _le linnon im
Lúthien_ III:354). In English the subject can be emphasized this way
using the nominative, as in "I, Christopher, made them", or the
reflexive pronoun can be used (in essence meaning 'by oneself'), as
"John himself bought the book" or "I myself, Christopher, sing this
So there are two possibilities, either (1) _im_ is nominative, used
emphatically with a named subject and combining with a preposition to
indicate the object is the same as the subject, or (2) _im_ is
specifically reflexive, combinable with a preposition to indicate
reflexive object and usable with the subject for emphasis. Whichever
theory one picks there is little to suggest that _-men_ 'us' in
_ammen_ is the same case as _im_. In its sentences the subjects are
_naur_ 'fire' and _annon_ 'gate', unconnected with 'us'. So _ammen_
is neither reflexive nor nominative, judging by the contexts and the
translations. This leaves "objective'"cases.
Between the pronouns in _tiro nin_ 'look towards me, guard me' and
_guren bêd enni_ 'my heart tells me', it is difficult to say which
is semantically closer to _-men_ in _edraith ammen_ 'saving of us' and
_edro hi ammen_ 'open now for us'. We also have _ammen_ 'us' as
indirect object of _anno_ 'give!' and _díheno_ 'forgive!' and even
in the sense 'against us' in _gerir úgerth ammen_ '(who) trespass
against us', all in the Sindarin Lord's Prayer (VT44:21).
Considering the semantic range of _ammen_ and especially how close
_anno ammen_ comes to _bêd enni_ (both would use 'to' in English if
the indirect object were expanded to a prepositional phrase), it seems
quite reasonable to suggest that we could say *_anno enni_ 'give me!'
and *_bedir ammen_ '(our hearts) tell us'.
Alternatively, we may consider that _enni_ and _ammen_, though
etymologically connected by the historical derivation of _en-_ < _an-_
by affection, actually have different syntax, with the historically
later _ammen_ using a distinct case of the pronoun. If so, I would be
inclined to tie together two ideas suggested by David as

If we assume that _nin_ 'me' is syntactically detached from its
(perhaps etymological) dative, allative, or benefactive sense in the
context of _tiro_ 'look towards, watch over, guard' and is simply the
"accusative" form of the pronoun used as the direct object of a verb;
and if we assume that the dative, benefactive, or even adversative
sense of _ammen_ is conveyed by the semantic range of the preposition
_an-/am-_ and the attached pronoun is simply marked as the object,
using this same "accusative" case-form -- then we could by implication
say *_anno annin_ 'give me!'
This is comparable to the situation in English where the same forms
(me, us, him, etc.) are used for both direct object of a verb and
object of a preposition. There is even an exceptional idiom (like
_enni_ would have to be under this theory), which uses a different
case of the pronoun. This is the possessive construction with the
preposition _of_, as in _I read that book of his_, which contrasts
with a usage like _I was speaking of him_. This is I think the only
relict in English of the older situation where different prepositions
may govern distinct cases -- a situation familiar in more highly
inflected languages, such as Latin (e.g. _ad infinitum_ vs. _de
facto_) or Quenya (e.g. _mí oromardi_ vs. _et Earello_).

OPERA REVIEW; A Melodrama Plays Blithely to a Tight-Lipped Age
By BERNARD HOLLAND
Published: January 8, 2001
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5— We admire it in Puccini, but in the operas of Gian Carlo Menotti it is held in deep suspicion: the simple story -- bordering on the simple-minded -- borne along on music sweepingly lyrical in its ambitions, couched in easily digestible harmonic language.
Not that all of us are so wary. ''The Medium'' played for 211 performances before nonoperatic Broadway audiences in 1947. ''Amahl and the Night Visitors'' thrived on network television and reappears with amazing regularity in high school auditoriums and regional opera spaces around the world. ''The Consul'' is celebrating its 50th year, currently at the Washington Opera, and Thursday night's performance at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater, the second of 11 this month, looked to be filled with sympathetic spectators. America's opera composers nurse their frustrated ambitions, but at nearly 90 Mr. Menotti scarcely seems to notice.
''The Consul'' shifts between a shabby flat and a consulate's reception room. John Sorel (Victor Benedetti) is a wounded freedom fighter hotly pursued by secret police and desperate to flee the country with his wife, mother and sickly baby. Their fulminations are set against a background of other visa applicants stymied by indifferent bureaucracy and paperwork. The place has the look of Central Europe, but given the stories coming out of our own immigration service, it could be farther west. Magda Sorel (Joanna Porackova), her husband in hiding and her baby near death, works frantically for survival, but the opera ends with her head laid in the oven door, all jets hissing and telephone ringing.
It doesn't take long to marshall arguments against this kind of theater. ''The Consul'' is shamefully exploitive. It gains our confidence by telling us what we already believe: that governments are corrupt and inefficient, and that the meek and the helpless will be punished. It bears no revelation, no new thoughts to ponder. ''The Consul'' goes to any lengths, any outlandish emotive gesture, to win over our sentimental side. Its over-the-top depictions of human suffering are just this side of pornographic.
Yet we could almost say the same of ''Tosca'' or ''Turandot.'' It would be nice to think that a work of art is what it is regardless of when it was conceived, but ''The Consul'' reminds us how deeply context organizes our values. Puccini lived in an era when feverish melodrama was high art. Mr. Menotti has written his operas in a more cynical and tight-lipped age. It is not so much that ''The Consul'' is bad, something its multitude of customers would dispute to begin with; it seems out of place, like a skillful reproduction of old furniture suspect for its lack of patina.
Mr. Menotti brings useful tools to his work. His modal gestures are mildly exotic; his harmonies go down like Cream of Wheat. He has the gift of the long line and the heart-catching sopranic climax. The extended Act I trio is irresistible. Magda's later set-piece is beautifully sustained theater. The composer's ability to blend music and stage extends to the waiting-room ensembles. Joel Revzen's pit orchestra sounded wanly efficient and not much more. Maybe a better orchestra would have spoken more eloquently for Mr. Menotti's instrumental writing, but this is an opera whose strengths lie on the stage and nowhere else.
Mr. Menotti, a highly sophisticated stage director, is here to put on his own work. There have evidently been no second thoughts about theatrical values. Singers are encouraged literally to throw themselves into their parts. Ms. Porackova buys into the composer's excesses and sings with great fervor and skill, her effectiveness undone only by the overheated final scene. Zack Brown's sets evoke drabness with literal exactitude. Detectives are done up like denizens of a Dick Tracy comic strip. The fantasy and dream sequences seem intrinsically awkward and do not work well here.
All the singers are good, especially Julia Anne Wolf as the Secretary, and Mr. Menotti moves them around the stage with an easy skill. John Marcus Bindel is the Police Agent, Kathleen Segar the Mother. The others are Herbert Eckhoff, Randa Rouweyha, Robert Baker, Barbara McAlister, J. Austin Bitner and Mary Gresock. ''The Consul'' plays through Jan. 26.

Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) is the sole noteworthy element of Mama, which in every other way is entirely typical of horror movies released during the dumping ground of January. The bass-playing, tattoo-rocking girlfriend of a struggling artist (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) whose brother murdered his wife and then mysteriously disappeared, Chastain winds up in charge of the couple’s two young daughters, who are discovered five years after the incident, living like feral animals in the woods. Something was taking care of them for all that time, it seems, and now that something is OMG IT’S IN THE HOUSE. First-time director Andy Muschietti piles on the cheap jump-scares, and the movie repeatedly violates its own slender logic until the story makes no damn sense. As for Chastain, she’ll be burying this one deep at the bottom of her distinguished résumé for many years to come.

About The Slurs
Formed in 2015 by four veterans of the Milwaukee music scene, The Slurs deliver straight up rock and roll as it should be: loud and sleazy. On their upcoming album, Shatter Sessions, the band’s sound is reminiscent of the Stooges, the MC5, and AC/DC. They also draw comparison to the punk-influenced rock and roll of Electric Frankenstein, the Candysnatchers, and Murder City Devils.
From the ragged howl of Slash Me to the shambling, drugged-out love story in Something for Pain, this is rock and roll – cooked down and mainlined.

Mike Mattner – drums
Tim Kinyon – bass
Jason Walden – guitars
CJ Olson – vox

Properties that are located in rapidly depreciating areas will almost always result in a bad investment.

Don’t invest a huge amount of money in real estate without researching the research first. Errors in this field can generate some major losses if you don’t watch out.
Don’t buy real estate.Even if you’re thinking it’s a good price, it may be so cheap because it is undesirable.
When renting out your investment property, choose your tenants carefully. The individual should be able to pay both the first month along with a deposit. If your prospective tenants can’t come up with this amount, they are likely going to default on any rent agreement. Keep looking for a tenant.
In some places, you can be cited for digging without finding this out first because of the extreme damage you can cause if you hit a line.
Make sure that any property you invest in will return your money to you, plus an additional profit.
Be very patient when first starting out. Your first real estate investment deal out of the gate can be expected to take longer than you expected.

Learn about the neighborhood and surrounding areas before investing in its real estate. Location is crucial in the most integral factors. Speak to neighbors to figure out if you can get the property rented out shortly after you purchase it.

These different legalities are going to vary from town to town so you should know them in advance. Talk to local public officials to make sure you’re compliant with any laws before you actually buy the property.
Are property values on the rise in the area where you are buying? Are there tons of vacancies in rental properties that are vacant? These are the questions to ask yourself before purchasing real estate. You want to make sure there is a demand for rentals in the area in which you are attaining your profits.

A funeral was held Friday for for teenage girl who died in a Manhattan apartment fire last week.
Friends and family remembered 15-year-old Melisa Mendez at a church service in Harlem.
Mendez died during an electrical fire that quickly spread through an apartment building in Hamilton Heights on August 18.
Pastor Jose Clavero of the Church of the Annunciation said she was a dedicated member of his church.
"She was a very wonderful student, always very positive and active, involved in everything, so the message is, you can be a teenager and still be a fantastic Christian, good person."
Melisa's body was flown to the Dominican Republic for burial.

I had the reflection for this week all written and ready, but I work up at 3 am with a whole new composition rolling through my head. This is that one. I believe God is calling us to move from good to righteous. >Screencast is at the end of this page<
Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God, the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ with righteous deeds at his coming, so that, gathered at his right hand, they may be worthy to possess the heavenly Kingdom, Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
A couple quick notes on definitions: resolve; resolve is defined as disposition of will, right attitude. Definitions for the word righteous include: of God’s ways and doings, just, and without prejudice or partiality.
Imagine you’re on a path, Jesus is also on the path, coming to meet you. On this path are stones. Some stones are small, some are annoying, some are bigger than you’d like, but you want the stones moved to clear the path for Jesus.
As you pick them up, you realize they are not just rocks. The stones were put there by God, the stones are opportunities. Those opportunities are righteous deeds.
If you remember from a few weeks, ago, the “so that” clause depends completely on what precedes it. To possess the heavenly kingdom depends on bringing our righteous deeds before God.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what a righteous deed is and how it is or is not the same as a good deed. We’ve all heard someone say, and often with a sarcastic tone, “I’ve done my good deed for the day,” and good deeds are often that - something we do because we’re good people.
However, righteous deeds are of God’s ways and doings. These are the opportunities God has given us to do things for him. But here’s an amazing thing about God: he gives us the opportunities for righteous deeds, he gives us the grace and the gifs to do them, and although he is glorified, he allows us to bring those deeds before His throne like they’re ours!
Another thought about the difference between good and righteous is in a quote I read long ago: Satan doesn’t care if you do a good thing, but he doesn’t want you to do a God thing.
A few years ago, I needed to make a Target run. Before I headed home, I decided to stop at the convenience store for a Diet Coke. As I stood in line, the mints caught my eye and something told me to buy mints. When I was checking out, the clerk began a conversation about how when she was little, they would go to church and she would be hungry. Her mom would always tell her to have a mint.
I replied that it was the same for me. (I was Protestant then, so mints were allowed anytime.)
Then she went on… She said that her kids have been wanting to go to church, but she’s messed up her life so bad that God probably wouldn’t want her back.
By this time, she’s crying, I’m crying, and I didn’t look back at the other people in the line. I looked at her and told her that the reason Jesus came and died was for her. I reminded her that Easter is coming, that she should take her kids to church because God is waiting for her.
Praise God for his gift of righteous deeds! That was not something I could have arranged on my own. I don’t ever buy mints. Actually, those mints stayed unopened in the bottom of my purse and every time I saw them I prayed for her. Long past their expiration date, I threw them away, and I still pray for her.
Listen close, it comes and goes very quickly in our first reading this weekend, the First Sunday of Advent (Year B): “Would that you might meet us doing right, that we might be mindful of you in our ways!” Isaiah 64:4
Lectio the Liturgy: Think back to a time when you realized that God gave you the opportunity to perform a righteous deed. Remember the joy and contentment it brought to be able to fulfill God’s plan in that situation. Ask God for the resolve, the determination to not miss every opportunity He has for us to bring His will and His love to the world.
Thank you for praying with me. May you have a blessed week,

MTV launched on August 1, 1981 with “Video Killed the Radio Star,” by the Buggles. The network introduced a new form of television, a new way for young adults to appreciate the music they loved, and a new way for musicians to think about performance. It also contributed greatly to the careers of many rock artists, including Pat Benatar, The Pretenders, Prince, Blondie, Michael Jackson, Eurythmics, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Madonna, The Police, and Van Halen.
The founders included CEO Bob Pittman, Mark Booth, Tom Freston, Judy McGrath, Fred Seibert, and John Sykes. Their creation made waves that extended into the worlds of fashion, art and advertising, and added “I want my MTV” to the popular lexicon.
Conceived as “music television,” MTV initially played music videos 24 hours a day, seven days a week, hosted by on-air VJs. The early videos were promotional pieces created by record companies for international use as well as concert clips. These were interspersed with interviews, music news, and concert information pre-recorded by the VJs. The network went on to create the MTV Video Music Awards and more special events and original programming.
At launch, MTV reached two million American cable homes. Today, MTV is the leading global youth media brand in 180 countries, reaching 450 million households in nearly 30 different languages across every platform. MTV operations span cable and mobile networks, live events, theatrical films and MTV Studios, a unit that produces new and reimagined content for SVOD and linear platforms based on MTV’s library of over 200+ youth titles and franchises.

DALLAS (CN) — A Texas judge has ordered Twitter to cooperate with an epileptic Newsweek reporter who’s trying to identify an online troll who sent him a strobe light image that induced a seizure.
Dallas County Judge Bonnie Goldstein on Monday ruled that Newsweek senior writer Kurt Eichenwald, 55, of Dallas, can serve a deposition of written questions on Twitter, seeking the identity of @jew_goldstein or anyone else who may be responsible for assault. The order came hours after Eichenwald filed a petition for presuit deposition of the social media company.
“Doe sent this image with the intent of causing a seizure, as evidences by the words Doe typed onto the strobe, ‘You deserve a seizure for your posts,’” the petition states. “Doe succeeded in his efforts to use Twitter as a means of committing assault, causing petitioner to have a seizure which led to personal injury.”
Eichenwald tweeted on Tuesday that he has filed a criminal complaint on Monday with Dallas police. He said other Twitter users are sending him strobe images, and he intends to get their accounts canceled.
“How have so many ppl become such sociopaths that they think it is ok to assault someone if they write political stories they don’t like?” Eichenwald tweeted.
“Look at how many Trump followers seem to think its funny or deserved that someone used my disability as a weapon. Whats wrong with them?”

Posted Feb 27, 2013 by Martin Armstrong
Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) was a Federalist. He was in favor of creating a strong federal government. Yet when we look at the REAL extent of power that even the Federalists advocated, we would pray for such rights today. Hamilton’s celebrated communication to the Senate of January 20th, 1795, said it all:
“[W]hen a government enters into a contract with an individual, it deposes, as to the matter of the contract, its constitutional authority, and exchanges the character of legislator for that of a moral agent, with the same rights and obligations as an individual. Its promises may be justly considered as excepted out of its power to legislate, unless in aid of them. It is in theory impossible to reconcile the idea of a promise which obliges, with a power to make a law which can vary the effect of it.”
3 Hamilton’s Works, 518, 519
Can you imagine that the idea of a Federal Government was that when it promised something, it laid down its mantle of supreme power and then it was on equal footing with the individual? Oh! If only this could be restored.
Another long forgotten principle was by the Act of May 1878, all debt had to be established with a sinking fund. In other words, debt could not be entered into without an intent to pay it off. The Supreme Court ruled that Congress even had the power to compel such fiscal responsibility upon corporations, see In Re Sinking Funds Cases 99 US 700 (1878). If we only had statesmen today instead of irresponsible dictators who stay in office forever and pretend to be representing the people. Only old age gets rid of them. Can you imagine that BEFORE the United States turned Marxist in 1890 with the first passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the attempt to create an Income Tax that was held to be unconstitutional in 1895, Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company, 157 U.S. 429 (1895), you actually had a law that said debts had to be paid off? Oh, what fiscal irresponsibility has led us to today. All rights, privileges, and immunities are gone all because government needs money perpetually.

Writer and artist Steve Bright, co-creator of Bananaman, recently posted a touching memory of The Beano’s second editor Harry Cramond on social media. Steve worked for Harry on The Beano for some 18 months and came to know the idiosyncrasies of his boss and, with Steve’s full permission, we present his memories of both Harry Cramond and The Beano office.
Over to Steve, as posted earlier this month (on 4th July 2017)…
Almost four decades ago, I watched the man I had not long before come to know as my boss, rise from his editor’s desk mid-morning, and quietly leave the office, having been summoned to the Vista Room above the top floor of DC Thomson’s tower block building in the heart of Dundee. I had no idea where he was going, nor gave it much thought at the time. Neither, I suspect, did any of my colleagues in the small office of five men who produced The Beano comic each week.
His name was Harry Cramond, affectionately known (to some, not all) as ‘The Grizzler’. To me, as an 18-year-old fresh out of school a few months before, he was a giant of a man, commanding great authority and respect, and occasionally an amount of unwarranted fear from all those around him. You might imagine that the office which produced the The Beano would be a veritable fun factory, full of laughter, anarchy and chaos. Not under Harry’s watch. I served 18 months before moving to the far giddier heights of the top floor (just below the Vista Room) and the relative Pleasure Dome that was the Nutty Office. The Beano, was a serious office in which to learn the serious trade of creating kids’ comics, and Harry’s reign as Editor was the reason why. He ruled the roost, filling the air with the sweet tobacco aroma of his briar pipe, which he would lovingly scrape out between smokes, into his brass dish, with the Three Wise Monkeys as its centre piece, upon which Harry used to tap the pipe in order to loosen the stubborn ash.
I loved my time in The Beano, and learned so much in those formative months, much of which still holds me in good stead to this day. It was the best and most fortuitous of starts for me, that I can only truly, fully appreciate in hindsight. Back then, it was a quiet and sober atmosphere… until Friday afternoon, when it was a quiet and drunken one (tradition!). But it worked, and Britain’s best-selling comic never failed to flow from its hub each week.
Harry must have been in his late 50s by then, and the rest of us were mere striplings, with a chief sub editor in his early/mid 30s, two subs in their 20s, and me, yet to leave my teens. And we found many times and ways to let our hair down (we certainly had plenty of it back then) when Harry wasn’t in the office. But when he took his seat, the fun stopped and the… er…”serious fun” began, as we all set about writing scripts, and processing our respective weekly pages, once the comic artists had worked their magic on our words. In my case, it was Billy Whizz, Biffo the Bear, The Nibblers, and Pup Parade, as well as the office junior’s “privilege” of compiling the letters page for Dennis the Menace’s Fan Club. It was quite a workload, and all new to me then, and Harry guided me through it all with great patience and (often) humour. He may have steered a sober ship, but he could also show great warmth and kindness when needed, and was fiercely loyal to his staff.
On the day in question, however, there was very little evidence of humour as he shuffled out of the office door that morning. He told us he’d be back in an hour. He returned within the hour, shuffling more slowly than when he left, and sat in his chair, surrounded by silence (although we were all watching). In his hand was a brand new shiny gold watch, which I was later to find out was given to him by the directors in the Vista Room (with buffet) as a thank you for his 40 years’ service with the company. Like my office mates, I pretended to be checking over a page of artwork as I watched The Grizzler hold his watch in one hand, whilst tugging at his not-inconsiderable left eyebrow with the other (Harry’s habitual stress-buster). He stared at the watch for about 30 seconds, before grunting, opening his deep side drawer, and throwing it with complete and utter disdain into the bowels of his desk, never to be seen again.
To this day, I have no idea why, although I’m fairly certain it wasn’t a reflection on the quality of the watch.
Today is American Independence Day, and I’d like to wish all of my U.S. friends a joyous celebration. It’s also exactly 40 years to the day when I first entered the Courier Building in Dundee as an 18-year-old, on July 4th, 1977, to begin my own four-decade long association with comics and cartooning.
When Harry died some years back, I was unable to attend his funeral. But not long afterwards, I received an unexpected package through the post from my ex-flatmate and former Dandy Editor, Morris Heggie, who had also served as a Beano sub-editor during Harry’s reign in the years before I joined the company.
Inside was The Grizzler’s brass dish, complete with Three Wise Monkeys, which was found in his old desk and has now become a permanent fixture on my drawing board. A touch of real class from Mr Heggie that I will always treasure.
I still do freelance cartoon work for DC Thomson, but I’m not expecting a watch. Unless you also found Harry’s lurking in the bowels of that desk, Morris…?

As a sales person you’ll know the importance of being proactive – of making sure that you do something everyday that will take you closer to your goals.
The most effective sales people and leaders we work with are those that use the simplest systems that make sure they do something each day that will take them closer to their goal.
One Chief Exec we work with has a list of his key goals by his phone, so that he has them at the front of his mind while he is on hold on the telephone. Simple, but a constant reminder of the things that he needs to concentrate on that will help him to achieve his vision for his company. A reminder of the important things, and the need to touch and pursue those everyday, rather than being sidetracked by the things that can get in the way.
Finding an effective and simple system is key, and as we are often out and about, we need something to be mobile. Which is why we love the App that we came across called “Habitbull”
It allows you to track your activity, so that your daily activity can build into good habits. From eating 5 a day, to contacting new prospects as part of your new business generation activity, you can set it up to help you measure what you need to.
Then all you have to do is to tell it you’ve done what you needed to do – and that’s very simple to do – a couple of touches on your screen. You can add notes if you want to, as a record, but you don’t need to.
The nice part is that it tracks your progress, and gives you a % score.
It’s very easy to get side tracked with the busy lives we lead, but if you see your % dropping it gives you focus to your activity, the nudge in the right direction that you might need. Focusing on the right things helps you to be more productive.
In sales, one of the key messages is to spend time doing the things where you will get most payoff from your activity. This simple App helps make sure you build the good habits that will get you the results you need.

The State Department has given the Netherlands the green light to buy BAE Systems-built AN/AAR-57A(V)7 Common Missile Warning Systems and related support services under a potential $58.2 million foreign military sales agreement.
The Netherlands requested to procure 32 CMWS for integration onto the country’s fleet of AH-64D Apache helicopters, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Monday.
The FMS transaction also includes mission equipment, navigation and communication equipment, ground support tools, hardware, maintenance work orders, technical assistance, publications, logistics and training support services.
BAE will serve as principal contractor in the transaction that seeks to help the European country build up its homeland defense, support coalition operations and prevent regional threats.
AN/AAR-57 CMWS works to provide missile warning, hostile fire indication and data recording capabilities for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.

University of North Carolina students are adorable. It’s almost as if they believe they actually understand the complexities of energy policy and production in an industrialized nation that is in the midst of a severe economic downturn.
Students at the press conference called for administrators to respond to the referendum vote by allowing the Beyond Coal campaign to make a presentation at the Board of Trustees meeting in March.
Alanna Davis, representative of UNC’s chapter of the N.C. Student Power Union, spoke at the event.
She emphasized the need for demanding greater responsibility in managing the endowment, as well as the need for changing the current power structure to give students a stronger voice.
Davis urged administrators to see that divesting from coal is imperative to the future success of the University and the world.
“Leave your flawed neoliberal ideology behind — break up with the coal industry,” she said. “Join us in creating a brighter, healthier future for all.”
It’s also cute how they string words together imagining that their little political pronouncements might be mistaken for meaningful insight.
File this under “disdain.”

In the seven years since it was launched, the General Services Administration’s (GSA) Challenge.gov platform has demonstrated that crowdsourcing can be a winning approach to problem solving in government.
The Center for Digital Government (CDG) announced the 2017 Digital Cities Survey Winners. The Digital Cities Survey, now in its 17th year, seeks to recognize cities that are using technology to improve the citizen experience, increase government transparency, and encourage citizen engagement with the government.
For the first time a majority of the world’s population lives in urban areas. Increased urbanization brings new demands for technology to make city life more pleasant, healthy, and efficient. New low-cost sensors and advanced data analytics, among other technologies, have given rise to smart cities across the United States. However, many cities are struggling with how to best select, deploy, and maintain smart city technologies. In its recent report, the Center for Data Innovation (CDI) said that national governments have an important role to play in accelerating and coordinating smart city development.
A month after experiencing catastrophic devastation due to Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico is still struggling to recover. With 48 percent of cell sites still out of service, residents and officials struggle to communicate across the island. To help get residents connected again AT&T deployed its Flying Cell on Wings (COW) for the first time.
The Sunlight Foundation released a report that found that cities use Federal data to make strategic decisions including identifying local issues and informing policy decisions. The majority of cities began using Federal data more than a decade ago and 43 percent plan to increase their use of Federal data in the future.

Airbus SE operates in the Aircraft sector.
In addition to historical fundamental analyses, the complete report available to purchase compares Airbus SE with three other
aircraft manufacturers in Europe:
BAE Systems PLC
of the United Kingdom
sales of £16.82 billion [US$21.96 billion]
of which 33%
(21.03 billion Euro [US$23.34 billion]
of which 50%
was Aerospace Propulsion), and
Rolls Royce Holdings Plc
based in the United Kingdom
(£15.73 billion [US$20.53 billion]
of which 47%
was Civil Aerospace).
Airbus SE reported sales of 63.71 billion Euro (US$70.71 billion)
December of 2018.
decrease of 4.6%
versus 2017, when the company's sales were 66.77 billion Euro.
The sales level in 2018 was fairly close to the level five years ago: in 2013, Airbus SE had sales
of 59.26 billion Euro.
Contributing to the drop in overall sales was the 8.0% decline
in Airbus Helicopters, from 6.45 billion Euro to 5.93 billion Euro.
There were also decreases in sales in
Airbus (down 5.9% to 47.97 billion Euro)
However, these declines were partially offset by the increase in sales of
Airbus Defense and Space (up 2.4% to 11.06 billion Euro)

Saeb Erekat said Monday that Palestinians have done "everything" to enable President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry to succeed, and "there is a good opportunity now."
The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in November to upgrade the Palestinians from a U.N. observer to a nonmember observer state, a move vehemently opposed by the U.S. and Israel. Recognition as a state gives the Palestinians the right to apply for membership in U.N. and other organizations, including the International Criminal Court.
Erekat said the Palestinians have now completed the "instruments of accession" to join 63 U.N. specialized agencies, conventions and treaties, but they haven't been submitted because "mainly we wanted to give Obama and Kerry "a chance" along with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the European Union and others to achieve a two-state solution based on borders before the 1967 Mideast war.
Kerry convinced the Arab world earlier this month to help promote a revival of peace talks by sweetening its deal of universal recognition for the Jewish state if it pulls out of most of conquered territory in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, with possible agreed land swaps.
"We are exerting every possible effort to see that Mr. Kerry succeeds," Erekat said. "No one benefits more (from) the success of secretary Kerry than Palestinians and no one loses more (from) his failure than Palestinians."
But he said Israel must stop settlement building which is an obligation under a 1995 interim agreement and the 2003 roadmap to a Palestinian state—not a condition for resuming peace negotiations.
"Israel must make the choice—settlements or peace," Erekat told a meeting of the U.N. Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.
The issue of Jewish settlements has been at the heart of the current 4 1/2-year impasse in peace talks.
Peace talks broke down in late 2008 and have remained frozen since then. The Palestinians have refused to resume talks while Israel continues to build Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, areas where they hope to establish an independent state. Israel captured both areas in the 1967 Mideast war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says talks should resume without any preconditions—and a halt to settlement building is a precondition.
If Kerry succeeds, Erekat said, the Palestinians will achieve their independence and freedom peacefully, but if he fails "we are going deeper into the evil apartheid that exists in the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

Implosion - Never Lose Hope
Android Police coverage: Implosion Is A Polished Hack-And-Slash Title That You Only Have To Pay For Once
A science fiction hack-and-slash game? Count me in - we usually don't see developers leave the comfortable confines of fantasy for this genre. Add in some fantastic visuals and sound, a full story campaign, and the fact that the entire game can be unlocked with a single $10 in-app purchase (the first six levels are free), and you've got an impressive offering. Nice work, developer Rayark - keep 'em coming.
Bringing AAA console gaming experience to mobile devices. Twenty years after the fall of Earth, the remnants of the Human race are once again faced with extinction. The time has come to justify our existence. A mysterious life form known as the XADA squares off against humanity's last weapon - the War-Mech series III battle suit.
Does not Commute
Android Police coverage: Does Not Commute Careens Into The Play Store, Crashes Into Three Cars In The Process
Does Not Commute adds a unique idea to the somewhat dry racing genre: what if you were driving all of the cars in the city? Your job is to drive each car (which comes with its own driver narration for story) from point A to point B. But each level adds a new car, and you'll have to avoid the cars that you drove in the previous levels, quickly turning the city into a chaotic mishmash of hairpin turns and near misses. Does Not Commute is free to try with a single $2 IAP to unlock the whole thing.
A strategic driving game from the award-winning maker’s of Smash Hit. Does not Commute is a temporal paradox in which you have no one to blame but yourself. What starts out as a relaxing commute in a small town of the 1970's quickly devolves into traffic chaos with hot dog trucks, sports cars, school buses and dozens of other vehicles. You drive them all. Plan ahead. Don't be late.
The Sorcery series is an interesting mixture of game-books and conventional RPGs, and the latest one is the best yet. You can import your characters from the first two installments and travel around new 3D maps, and the new time travel mechanic makes your actions in the past affect the future in the style of Chrono Trigger. Underpinning it all is the unique Inklewriter system that makes battles a mixture of tabletop dice mechanics and Choose Your Own Adventure.
An epic adventure through a cursed wilderness of monsters, traps and magic. Begin your journey here. (Parts 1 and 2 not required.) The land of Kakhabad is a wilderness - a ruined desert, a tangled forest, cruel mountains and fissures, all guarded by seven fearsome serpents. But you must cross this land if you are to reach Mampang and the Crown of Kings. Rely on your wits or fight your way through - play with honour, or lie, cheat and steal - the choices are all yours.
Android Police coverage: Joe Danger Brings Death-Defying Feats To The Play Store
Joe Danger was a sleeper hit on the PS3 and Xbox 360 digital download services, and now the developer has brought the 2.5D game to Android. You play as either the titular stuntman or one of an increasingly kooky cast of characters, racing and/or stunt running through physics-based 2D courses. It's a lot like Trials in terms of gameplay, but with a more goofy personality (and that takes some doing).
Joe Danger, the multi-award winning smash hit, wheelies on to your Android device. Wear the cape of the World’s Most Determined Stuntman, and take your trusty motorbike on a wild ride from zero to hero. Race, ride and defy death as you jump buses, dodge giant mousetraps, leap tanks full of sharks and reclaim your title of Master of Disaster. Swipe Joe to pop a wheelie and boost, flick obstacles out of the way, hold to crouch, tap to jump.
In the horror genre, an abandoned asylum is only one step above a haunted house in terms of original setting. But what Human Head Games' Lost Within lacks in originality it makes up for in style: this first-person horror game has some top-notch visuals and atmosphere for a mobile title, probably worth the $7 entry fee alone for those waiting for survival horror on Android. It's too bad that you'll need some Amazon-branded hardware to get access to this one.
From the developer of Prey -- Escape a haunted asylum by fighting or fleeing from its monstrous Inhabitants. Scavenge through ruins and create makeshift weapons to strike back at your enemies. Or--conserve your resources and employ stealth to sneak past the lurking horrors. When all else fails, run like mad and search for a place to hide! The building itself seems to be trying to tell you something.
What's this, a wrestling game on Android that features actual wrestling? Indeed, publisher 2K seems intent on bringing a pint-sized version of its licensed console wrestling franchise to mobile platforms. Though the combat makes some concessions to touchscreens with swipe, hold, and tap-based attacks, the game features online multiplayer, a career mode, and the crowd-pleasing character creator. Note: this game launched briefly with a $1 price tag before ballooning up to $8, but at least there are no in-app purchases.
WWE 2K, the only authentic WWE in-ring mobile game, puts the power, intensity, and raw emotion of WWE wrestling in the palm of your hand.
• Authentic WWE Action, Superstar Entrances, wrestling moves, your favorite match types, and more.

You know the drill: EA's mobile games tend to be impressive from a technical level and absolute heavyweights when it comes to in-app purchases. The UFC version of this formula includes the ability to play in digital versions of timely real-world fights, but unfortunately there's no mention of multiplayer battles.

Must Deliver is a mix of old-school, top-down shooters and modern endless runners. You're not Rambo or Arnold, you're just some schmuck with the unfortunate job of delivering the cure for the zombie virus. Well that's who you start out as, anyway - a ton of other characters (mostly 80s action movie staples) are available as in-app purchases, in the style of Crossy Road.
They are coming. You... Must... Deliver… Finally. We have the cure that will destroy the ZOMBIE virus plaguing our world. We MUST DELIVER it to as many survivors as possible… The only question: CAN YOU DELIVER? Run like hell and move between zones to deliver the cure to helpless survivors. Eliminate the infected with your arsenal of ZOMBIE-ANNIHILATING SUPER MOVES and avoid getting bit at all costs.
Brutus & Futée
Brutus & Futée is, broadly speaking, a point-and-click adventure, but you could also think of it as an interactive cartoon. The creator of a popular show has disappeared, so now it's your job to interact with the two main characters and hopefully bring some entertainment to their bleary lives. $3 gets you 12 episodes of slapstick fun, with nary an in-app purchase in sight.
Brutus & Futée are comics strips characters. They used to be famous for their adventures in an old cartoon until their creator disappeared whereas they were at the climax of their success. With no roles to perform any longer, they moved to a quiet township. Now, living a boring life and spending all their days watching TV, they miss their past life full of fun. One day, Futee is mysteriously victim of a gag. Have they found a new author?
The 7th Guest: Remastered
The 7th Guest was originally released way back in 1993. It's an odd mix of Quest-style 3D adventure puzzles and live-action video sequences, with a story revolving around a creepy mansion filled with twists and traps. The re-release gets a new touchscreen control scheme, new high-fidelity music, and enhanced graphics. $4 isn't much to ask for a well-known classic, but you'll need to have an appreciation for the adventure or FMV genres to enjoy it.
Henry Stauf's mansion has been abandoned for as long as anyone dare remember. Stauf was a master toy maker, a maker of amazing puzzles and this strange, eerie, mansion was his greatest creation. It stands empty, rotting ever since children started dying with his toys near them, ever since six guests came and were never seen again. Now, you are in the house, moving from one room to another, trying to remember and trying to forget.
Masters of the Masks
After what seems like a dozen Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest re-releases, it's refreshing to see Square tackle something original. This turn-based RPG uses a unique mask-based battle system and an intriguing art style. Of course, being a brand-new mobile game, Square couldn't resist filling it to the brim with in-app purchases, all the way up to $100. It's also been hit with Square's typical poor compatibility and launch bugs.
In the realm of Ivren, the gods help the peoples of the land with sacred Masks. A band of chosen, masked warriors now embarks on a harrowing quest to rid Ivren of a mysterious evil rising in the east. Explore the world of Ivren and uncover recipes to create divine masks imbued with powerful skills in this strategic RPG. Fuse these masks to further augment your abilities, and turn the tides of every battle to our heroes’ favor.
Not to be confused with the John Grisham book/movie/TV show/travelling puppet show, The Firm is vaguely a management sim where you play as a Wall Street trader. You make lightning-fast stock trades among less savory decisions (like leaking information or blackmailing your opponents) in a fast mobile pace, hoping to make it to the top of the industry before your decisions cost you your job. Then you do it all over again in roguelike fashion. The game is just a dollar - the only in-app purchase is a small tip for the devs.
THE FIRM, is a twitchy fast-paced ARCADE video game where you work as a trader inside a big corporation. React fast, stay focused, and you might become the new chairman of The Firm . But be careful, because too many mistakes will get you immediately FIRED. NOTE : We carefully read all feedbacks, and we are aware that our first game suffers from various flaws, and we are now working hard on a new update adding cool stuff and fixing bugs .
Noodlecake's latest 2D retro entry stars a disgruntled worker who wants to beat the crap out of his boss. Aside from the sympathetic premise, Beatdown takes a lot of inspiration from Double Dragon and Streets of Rage. Simple fisticuff combos, an over-the-top story, megalomaniacal bosses, it's all there. While the game is $1 and marked on the Play Store as having in-app purchases, there don't appear to be any activated at the moment.
Wrongfully dismissed from his job, the hero is on a war path to take down anyone who gets in his way of giving the CEO a much needed beatdown. Inspired by the classic beat-em up genre; get ready for BEATDOWN.
- 20 Levels
- Endless mode
- 5 Bosses
- 5 Environments
- 30 Enemies
- Combos / Rage Attacks
- 3 control schemes (new control scheme, analog and d-pad)
- Google Play Achievements
The "demons" in this game are basically weirdo tentacles that fall from the sky, not unlike that one Futurama movie (but with much less overt sexual themes). Your job is to slash the crap out of it with a sword while avoiding the creepy tongues that protrude from its tumorous mouths. The art style is unique and a collection of heroes (including one that looks suspiciously like Smokey the Bear) keeps things interesting, but Play Store reviews point to compatibility issues.
"Slashing Demons" is the untold story of an endless fight between human kind and divine forces. Hundreds years ago, human greed and selfishness triggered Gods’ wrath who decided to send their monstrous beasts to destroy humanity. Entire armies failed to defend the Earth and you are the last hope for those who survived. Will you be brave enough to defy Gods’ creatures and change mankind’s destiny?

If you think of your body as a building, your bones are the framing. Without strong bones the whole thing would collapse. And that's a good analogy for what happens when we don't take good care of our bones. Over time, the body loses more and more bone, until we develop osteoporosis and it "collapses," in the form of bones fracturing.
About half of all women over 50, and about one out of every four men, will break a bone because of osteoporosis, a condition of weakening bone that affects about 10 million Americans, with some 34 million more at risk.
Why Do Bones Weaken as We Age?
During childhood and adolescence, your body makes bone tissue (formation) faster than you lose it (resorption). By the time you're 18 to 20 years old, you've built up about 90% of all the bone you'll ever have. Most people continue to build bone faster than they lose it until about age 30, a point that's known as “peak bone mass.” From then on, the rate of bone building slows down and the rate of bone loss picks up.
You can't get back bone once it's lost, but you can help maximize bone formation and minimize bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis. Researchers estimate that things you have no control over -- such as genetic factors, sex, age, and race -- control about 50% to 90% of your bone mass. But you can help protect your bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis in two key ways: nutrition and exercise.
Nutrition for Strong Bones
If you want to build stronger bones, you need three key elements: calcium, protein, and vitamin D. Bones are largely made up of a protein -- collagen -- bound together by calcium and other trace minerals). Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium so it can do its job building strong bones.
In 2010, the Institute of Medicine released new guidelines as to just how much calcium and vitamin D people need. Most adults, should get between 600 and 800 international units (IUs) of vitamin D every day, and between 1,000 and 1,300 milligrams (mg) of calcium daily The higher levels are for postmenopausal women, adolescent girls, and women who are pregnant or nursing.
“It's pretty easy to figure out how much calcium you're getting,” says Deborah Sellmeyer, MD, medical director of the Johns Hopkins Metabolic Bone Center. “Just from eating random, non-calcium-rich foods, your diet contains about 250 mg of calcium daily. To get up to what you need -- whether it's about 1,000 for the average adult, or higher for adolescent girls and postmenopausal women -- you'll need to add more calcium-rich foods.”
There are lots of ways to get plenty of calcium in your diet. Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese have plenty of calcium, as well as protein. “But you don't have to be a dairy person to get good dietary sources of calcium,” Sellmeyer says. Other options include:
- Fortified juices, cereals, and oatmeal
- Beans and legumes
- Dark leafy greens, like broccoli and bok choy
- Salmon and sardines with bones
- Certain nuts, such as almonds
“You can pick and choose from a wide variety of sources, and can vary it day by day. On the days when you don't get as much calcium, you can take a supplement, such as calcium citrate,” says Sellmeyer.
For vitamin D, often called the key that unlocks calcium in your body, the Institute of Medicine recommends between 600 and 800 IU per day. That's harder to get, because our bodies mostly synthesize vitamin D in response to sunlight. “Between November and March, most places anywhere north of, say, Oklahoma, don't get enough UV rays to make vitamin D even if you stay out all day on a sunny winter day,” Sellmeyer says. Good sources of vitamin D include:
- Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and tuna
- Cod liver oil
- Fortified dairy products
- Fortified cereals
- Beef liver
- Fortified orange juice
The IOM's recommendations about vitamin D have, in fact, been somewhat controversial. Many bone experts suggest that they're on the low end of optimal. “They're a good place to start, and probably good recommendations for the general public,” says Sellmeyer. “But if you have bone issues -- a history of fractures, say, or long-term steroid use, or a lot of osteoporosis in your family -- you may need to see a doctor and get your D levels checked.”
Don't forget the third nutritional building block of strong bones: protein. Your diet should contain plenty of lean protein sources, such as lean meats and fish, beans, and cheese.
Exercise Your Right to Strong Bones
One way to see just how important exercise is to bone health is to look at what happens to bone strength when people don't exercise.
“People who have been put on bed rest, people who undergo limb immobilizations, and astronauts, who have very reduced physical activity because of the minimal actions of gravity and muscles pulling on the bone -- they all see a rapid and profound effect on the skeletal system,” says Wendy Kohrt, PhD, a professor of medicine and the director of research for geriatric medicine at the University of Colorado. “People confined to bed rest for even four months lose about 10% of their bone density in critical regions of the skeleton. It takes a very long time to get that back.”
Kohrt says the evidence shows that weight-bearing exercise can build about 1% to 3% of bone. That may not sound like a lot, but exercise may also strengthen existing bone in ways that are harder to quantify. Research from the landmark Nurses' Health Study (NHANES) shows that women who walk at least four hours per week reduce their risk of hip fracture by about 40%.
Weight-bearing exercises include walking, dancing, jogging, playing tennis. Swimming, although it's a wonderful exercise in many ways, doesn't particularly benefit bone health because it isn't a weight-bearing activity.
“I think that just being physically active, being up on your feet and doing a variety of things, probably has benefits that we can't necessarily measure if we study a small group of subjects over a brief interval of time like one year,” says Kohrt. “But if we look at a large population of people followed for many years, that level of activity has benefits for your bones.”
There are also things you shouldn't do if you want to take care of your bones. Tops on the no-no list: smoking. “That's definitely bad for your skeletal health,” says Kohrt. Significant bone loss has been found in men and women who smoke, and the more and longer you smoke, the greater your risk of fracture. Some studies even suggest that secondhand smoke exposure in youth can increase the risk of low bone mass as an adult.
If you're wondering about your bone health, there's a quick at-home test you can take that will assess your overall risk of fracture. Called FRAX, it was developed by the World Health Organization to help evaluate bone fracture risk. Just plug a few numbers into the calculator -- like your age, height, weight, and some information such as whether you smoke or take steroid medications -- and it will give you a percentage risk of having a bone fracture within the next 10 years.
No matter what number you get, however, it's always worth trying to bring it even lower with healthy lifestyle habits. Your bones support you, and they need you to support them.

We’ve talked a little bit about how the toboggan has evolved in Northern Canada from a hand hauling sleigh to a dog sled and then to a towing sled for snow machines. The best I can find on when wooden toboggans first came on the scene is approximately the time when Hudson’s Bay Co. began trading fur in Canada. That makes pretty good sense when you consider that would likely have been about when the first flat sawn wooden boards became available.
In those days, above 60 degrees, babiche was the fastener of choice. Babiche is leather cord cut from caribou hide. First the hide is tanned and then beginning in the center of the tanned skin a knife cut is made. With a sharp knife the cut continues in a slightly enlarging circle, around and around the center of the hide. Depending on how heavy of cord one wanted would determine how close together this circling cut would be. If one wanted 1/8” cord the knife would follow outside the last cut 1/8”. If one wanted ¼” cord the knife would follow outside the last cut ¼”…like that around and around the hide until one reaches the outside edge of the hide. The result is one long cord or babiche from one hide. From this desirable lengths are cut for a particular purpose.
The first toboggans were made of two or three bent boards. The bending process was taking the individual board and boiling it in water to soften it up. Then the boiled tip of the board was wedged between two trees and carefully bent. Perhaps one board would have been boiled again and again until the desired curl was accomplished.
Once the boards were bent they would be held together by spaced wooden slats or crosspieces on top and across the width of the toboggan. Holes were bored through the crosspiece and the toboggan board and babiche was used to lash the two together.
Babiche is tough stuff and wears pretty well against the snow in a snowshoe trail. I can imagine from time to time a piece would wear thin or snag and break but it probably was a rare occurrence. So replacing a missing or a torn piece of babiche was likely just general maintenance for the hunter…or his wife.
These first wooden toboggans where a big improvement in winter sledding replacing the traditional sleds made from caribou hide. The wooden toboggans had backbone and would bridge the ever present undulations of the ground unlike the skin sleds that would slump in and out of every hole or low spot in the trail. Heavy loads on a skin sled moved with much less effort on the wooden toboggan. It was for this reason wooden toboggans spread across northern Canada below the tree line.
I can only imagine the reactions of those first aboriginal hunters when they first unloaded their caribou skin sled unto their first wooden toboggan and took off down the snowshoe trail. These were highly skilled outdoorsmen, remarkable survivalists, and masters of their environment. They spoke a different language but if one could have overheard their conversation it most likely would have been something like; “this thing is fricken awesome!”

Paris, France–Illinois closed out its European tour with a 96-77 victory over AMW Select on Monday night in Paris.
After falling behind 11-2 out of the gate, the Illini fought back to within one possession by the end of the first quarter. Less than a minute later, the UI faced its biggest deficit of the game at 10 points. The Orange and Blue responded with a staggering 26-3 run to open up a 45-32 lead with 3:22 remaining in the half.
AMW got back to within nine, but freshman Aaron Jordan drained a 30-foot 3-pointer at the buzzer to get the Illini lead back to double digits, where it would remain the rest of the way.
Sophomore Leron Black continued his torrid play, recording his third double-double of the four-game tour with game highs of 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting and 15 rebounds. He scored in a variety of ways against AMW, from postmoves in the paint to offensive rebounds, pull-up jumpers and pick-and-pop action. Black averaged a double-double for the trip at 14.0 points and 11.8 rebounds.
Black was one of four Illini to score in double figures on the night. Junior Malcolm Hill netted 14 points while going a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. Freshman D.J. Williams set his trip-high with 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting. And fellow freshman Aaron Jordan hit double digits for the second straight game with 13.
Senior Mike LaTulip – who will redshirt this season in order to retain his final year of eligibility as as graduate transfer – earned the start for tonight’s game as an acknowledgement from Coach John Groce for all of his hard work and sacrifice for the program. LaTulip made the most of his opportunity, scoring nine points.
While Black dominated the glass throughout the game, the Illini also received seven boards from senior Mike Thorne. Junior Jaylon Tate, meanwhile, had his third straight game of the tour with at least five assists, posting a game-high six assists compared to just one turnover.
Illinois shot its best percentage of the trip, knocking down 47.6 percent from the field (39-82). Groce continuined with his plan of dividing the minutes nearly equally, with 11 Illini logging double figures and no one playing more than 23 minutes.
Illinois concluded its European tour with a 3-1 record. The Illini will tour Paris tomorrow before returning to the U.S. on Wednesday.

Selected Topics in Post-Genome Knowledge Discovery (Lecture Notes Series, Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore Vol. 3)
The Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore organized a program on "Post-Genome Knowledge Discovery" from January to June 2002. The program focused on the computational and statistical analysis of sequences and genetics, and the mathematical modeling of complex biological interactions, which are critical to the accurate annotation of genomic sequences, the study of the interplay between genes and proteins, and the study of the genetic variability of species. As part of the program, tutorials for graduate students and newcomers to this transdisciplinary area of research were given by experts in these fields. This important volume collects the expanded notes of some of the tutorials that were given during the program. The topics include comparison and alignment of biological sequences, modeling and analysis of biological pathways, data mining and knowledge discovery from biological and clinical data.

Juicing vs. Smoothies: Which is Best for Your Heart?
Juicing vs. smoothies, which is best for your heart? This is a question my cardiac patients ask all the time. In this article, I’ll cover the pros and cons of each approach and then share my practical tips on how to do it right.
What is Juicing?
Juicing uses a fancy machine to strip the fiber from vegetables and fruits. It pulls out the juice while leaving the fiber, and those nutrients attached to the fiber, behind.
What is Blending (Smoothies)?
In contrast, blending just combines all the ingredients you place in your blender. You are eating the entire fruit or vegetable including the pulp and fiber. Nothing is pulled out or thrown away.
Is There Any Science to Support Juicing vs. Smoothies?
Given how popular juicing and smoothies are, you would think there would be a lot of scientific studies. Sadly, this is just not the case. Here is what the science does tell us.
1. Juicing and Smoothies May Help You to Absorb Some Nutrients
Some nutrients are better absorbed when juiced or mixed into a smoothie. For example, one study showed that lycopene from tomatoes is much better absorbed in a liquid form. Lycopene is vital because many studies show that it may prevent cancer, heart disease, and even hair loss.
2. Don’t Wait to Drink Your Juice or Smoothie
To maximize any potential nutrient boost from juicing or smoothies, you need to drink them quickly. Studies show that grinding up fruits and vegetables may quickly cause nutrient and enzyme degradation. Thus, for the the best nutritional boost, drink them within 15 minutes.
3. Juicing and Smoothies May Help Your Arteries
In addition to boosting some nutrients, studies show that fruit and vegetable drinks boost antioxidants and make your arteries act younger (better vasoreactivity). However, before using this as your reason to start juicing or blending, none of these studies compared juicing or smoothies to eating whole fruits or vegetables.
4. Smoothies May Be Better at Preventing Weight Gain, Diabetes, and High Cholesterol
If you like fruit, then smoothies hold the advantage in the juicing vs. smoothies debate. Contrary to popular belief, fruit juice is not a health drink.
For example, eating berries, apples, pears, and citrus are all linked to weight loss. In contrast, fruit juice is associated with weight gain in studies.
Likewise, studies show that eating whole fruit decreases your risk of diabetes whereas fruit juice increases your risk. And if weight gain and diabetes isn’t bad enough with fruit juice, studies also show that cholesterol drops with whole fruit but may increase with fruit juice.
What Are the Benefits of Smoothies?
As smoothies blend whole foods, this means you’re keeping all the nutrients intact. Another benefit is that you can add in extra ingredients like nuts, seeds, or spices. Even better is that you can blend in other fruits and vegetables that you wouldn’t otherwise eat…especially those fruits and veggies that you may not like the taste of alone.
For people with hectic schedules, smoothies are a great way to get the fruit and vegetables your body needs. Also, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on fancy equipment to make a smoothie. Just throw everything into an ordinary blender to make a light and nutritious meal.
What Are the Risks of Smoothies?
The two most significant risks I see with smoothies are that you might be eating too many calories and too much sugar. A smoothie is a meal, not a drink. If you merely add a smoothie to what you are already eating for breakfast, then you could quickly boost your daily caloric intake by 400 or more calories!
In addition to potentially overloading your breakfast with calories, you may also be overdosing on sugar. For example, if you add fruit juice, almond milk, yogurt, or honey you could easily be turning your entire smoothie into one big desert. You don’t need sugar to make your smoothie taste great.
If you like almond milk or yogurt in your smoothie, then make sure they are unsweetened. Likewise, you don’t need honey or fruit juice in your smoothie. Honey and fruit juice are just sugar. If you want your smoothie sweeter, try using unsweetened berries instead.
What Are the Benefits of Juicing?
As with smoothies, juicing may allow you to quickly pack in many more servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Also, for fruit and vegetables that you have no idea how to eat or prepare, juicing or blending may be your answer. If you are that rare person who just can’t force yourself to eat vegetables, juicing may be your “gateway drug” into the world of nutritious eating.
While Internet and health book gurus will tell you that juicing helps with toxin removal and weight loss, scientific studies don’t support this. Likewise, the problem with a juice-only diet is that you are not getting enough fiber and protein to make you feel full so any attempt at weight loss this way is doomed to backfire. Indeed, when it comes to any purported health benefits of juicing, I could find no credible studies showing that juicing offered any benefits over eating whole fruits and vegetables.
What Are the Risks of Juicing?
In my mind, the three biggest risks of juicing are that you are leaving behind the fiber, you are throwing away many nutrients, and you may be increasing your sugars and calories. Fiber is one of the most important nutrients when it comes to staying thin, longevity, and preventing heart disease and cancer.
Second, while juicing concentrates some nutrients, it also throws many away. For example, studies show that many nutrients are bound to the fiber. If you strip the fiber, you also strip these nutrients.
Third, as mentioned previously, juicing fruit is a recipe for weight gain and diabetes. This is because juicing concentrates the sugars and gets rid of the fiber.
One final consideration applies to those on prescription medications. Juicing, or for that matter smoothies, may interfere with the drugs your doctor has prescribed.
For example, grapefruit juice may interfere with cholesterol-lowering statin drugs and the heart medicine diltiazem. In addition, a big boost of vitamin K from juicing or blending green leafy vegetables may completely negate the blood-thinning effects of Coumadin.
When it comes to the juicing vs. smoothies debate, here are my practical tips:
1. For juicers, juice vegetables, not fruit to prevent weight gain and diabetes.
2. If juicing or smoothies helps you to boost your daily produce intake then I am all for it.
3. Don’t turn juicing or smoothies into a sugar desert.
4. Try to drink your juice or smoothie within 15 minutes to prevent nutrient degradation.
5. If you are on prescription medications, check with your doctor first before juicing or blending. Some juices and blends may interfere with drug levels.

Another solution is to not use the "auto run" to install but instead go to start/computer, right click on the drive containing the disc, choose Open, locate the setup file and Right click the shortcut icon on your desk top for MW2 and open properties. anyone been able to fix this ?

Want to get a six pack fast? Well, you can’t. But there is one rule we’ve found helps to speed up your muscle growth. In conjunction with the best abs workout, or this 15-minute six-pack home workout, it can give you a flatter stomach. This isn’t a tip for those who want easy solutions, as it requires some thought. And some maths.
To maximise your gains you have to keep an eye on eating right and sleeping/resting enough. But you already knew that, right? We have some strategies for weight loss and the latest wave of running watches give some great insights into training load and rest required.
What we’re looking at here is the third part of the holy trinity of workout wisdom: how to increase the volume of your exercise steadily and safely.
So, what is volume, and how do you turn it up?
- Best dumbbells – THE best weight for home
- Best barbell – Olympic bar, bicep curl bar and trap bar
- Best kettlebell – they are also great for shoulder presses (and a lot of other things too)
Upping the volume incrementally is probably the best thing you can do in the gym if you want to build muscle mass quicker and see real progress in the church of iron sooner.
It is dead simple to count volume: just multiply the amount sets and reps you do with the weights you are lifting. Counting volume makes even a not so complicated push-pull workout even simpler, because you have to concentrate only on one number.
The formula looks like this:
So, if you are doing 4 sets of 8 reps with 50 kg on ab crunch machine, your volume is 4 x 8 x 50 kg=1,600 kg. Next time you use the ab crunch machine, probably the week after, try to increase the volume slightly. You can try lifting heavier weights, or increasing the reps.
To do 1,650 kg, you can drop the sets down to 3, increase the reps to 10 and the weight to 55kg. The week after, you can do 2 sets of 8 reps and 2 sets of 9 reps with 50 kg, that would give you 1,700 kg.
By increasing the load slightly and play around with the resp/sets, you will put your muscles in a constant state of muscle confusion. Muscle confusion is great to keep your muscles on their toes, so they won't get used to the training. This will help them grow faster and you to actually get stronger too.
Don't forget your protein
You probably already know this but you will need to take enough protein if you want your muscles to grow. If you are doing strength training, try taking in at least around 2 grams of protein for each kilogram of body weight per day.
So, if you weigh 70 kg, you'll need to eat 140 grams of protein per day. Humans haven't got protein reserves, so you have to continuously take protein in throughout the day.
Creatine is also recommended if you're doing strength training. You don't have to take much – one scoop is around 5 grams – and it will help you push just a little bit more in the gym. Get the unflavoured variety and you can mix it with any drink, even water or coffee.
Pre-workout supplements can also give you a bit of a boost if you are really need some oomph. The main ingredient in those is caffeine, so the effect will depend on how much you coffee/tea drink during the day. But if your not over-abusing caffeine (which you shouldn't anyway), you will feel the extra energy.
As with all supplements, please always read the packaging for instructions on dosage recommendations.
- Best cheap creatine deals: boost your performance and focus
- Best cheap protein powder deals: bulk up with whey and vegan powders
On warmups and stretching
To avoid any injuries and to help recovery, stretch after every strength training session (and after every cardio sessions as well). Foam rollers can be found in most gyms and you can buy them on Amazon too, a quick and inexpensive way to massage the tired muscles.
Resistance bands are not only great for workouts but they are also an effective way to stretch your hamstrings after you did your squats.
